BURNING AWAY WINTER BLUES 2012
This is me dressed as the mighty dragon for the burning away the winters blues festival! It was so much fun! It was very slippery but I am glad we warmed some spirits!
"In 1999, Yukon Educational Theatre created Burning Away the Winter Blues to acknowledge the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
Recognizing the need to throw off winter hardships and celebrate spring and renewal, Yukon Educational Theatre went back to its roots. It created a ritual: an event with no audience, only participants.
We gather at the S.S. Klondike National Historic Site parking lot near the Yukon River in Whitehorse, light torches and hoist up an effigy of the Winter Blues, which is uniquely created each year by local artists. We walk along the riverfront path till we come to Robert Service Campground. A candle-lit path through the woods leads us to a roaring fire. Drummers drum, chanters chant and fire-spinners spin; people visit and talk and finally when the effigy is tossed into the fire, a cheer goes up. The dragon of spring dances, and sunflower seeds, representing sun and spring and hope, are passed out by the young children."
In fact here is a link to a youtube video taken at the event where you can see me at approx a minute and a half rocking the dragon
