Bonfire Drumming and Dancing: Since the dawn of time, humans seeking spirit-vision, purification and ecstatic celebration have drummed, danced and chanted around the fire. Bring your drums, voices and percussive instruments as we celebrate our diversity and union throughout the festival. Wisteria has three designated drumming circles: Stone Circle (sober), Pawpaw (wooded tribal drumming), and Bonfire, the large community gathering place. At all times of day or night, people drum and dance at their campsites making joyful dancing rhythms. Come find your authentic, ancient self and join the ecstatic revelry! |

Please visualize the following:
1) Costumed dancers with swirling glittering wings weaving and spinning on stage to the haunting sound of a didgeridoo;
2) Fantastic masks and other props to create a ritual enactment of the ending of a civilization hostile to life and nature and the rebirth of one in harmony with them;
3) Dramatic visuals projected on a screen that reinforce the same theme;
4) A masterful hand drum percussionists doling out primal and powerful beats that drives the audience into a trance-like frenzy of ecstatic dance;
5) Fire dancers piercing the darkness with undulating circles of flame;
6) The thunderous sound of 40 drums gathered in a circle around a huge bonfire, unleashing an all-night session of primitive, free form dancing.
One might expect to encounter the scene just described in the wilds of the West at one of the infamous Rainbow Gatherings of the counter culture. But the great surprise is that all this (and more) will soon be descending instead upon the wilds of SE Ohio at the
Cornstalk Festival being held July 29 - August 2 right outside Athens in Meigs County.
Welcome to the show! We look forward to warm summer nights full of happy people, stars and fireflies . . . Join us for a week of the good life -- immerse yourself in music, art and the divinity of nature. The schedule is still filling so check back often for updates . . .
