Our Next Cue-Up in The HOSPITALITY Series is  Spirited Hospitality: Hosting the Unseen and Clearing the Air

There are many herbs that are traditionally used for clearing a space,
improving the energy flow, and make it more welcoming: i.e. white sage,
sweet grass, and frankincense. What are some of the other ways we can make
our homes and work spaces more productive, creative, and friendly? Special
guest Sindy Taylor, a talented Vancouver Clairvoyant, Artist, and Healer,
will respond to the space at VIVO and give us some ideas on how to honor
the spiritual presence that it manifests.

Please join us for a fascinating discussion and a chance to show your work
within this spirited context.
Bring your own video/new media work or work-in-progress (up to 15:00) to show on a first-come/first-serve basis.

Sindy Taylor is an intuitive healer and has worked with many different
modalities.  She is currently focused on creating workshops and one and one
healing using art as her medium.  She has experimented with and has found
the initial stages profoundly deep, this blended with her love of art she

Gifted Clairvoyant and Visionary Artist, her clients are numerous and
around the world, she works with children, men and women of all ages and
all walks of life. www.spiritualhealingarts.com

Hospitality 1: Tuesday, January 29, 2008

Despite inclement weather leading up to the launch of Cue Up Collectives new Hospitality events at Video In Video Out, the event was quite the success!

With an inspirational talk by our guest Jackline Ochieng, the audience was treated to a discussion concerning hosting activities for dinners and the difference and similarities between such activities between Kenyan culture and Western Canada.  Delighting the audience with her karisma and humor, Jackline ended by leading the audience in a dance of celebration.  The audience sipping chai and sampling Kenyan Mandazi, a type of donut pastry, settled back and enjoyed the evenings short slate of videos brought by independent producers.  Included in the evenings presentations were:

Jeff Langille's video concerning an exploration of the landscape, DVD, approx. 8 min.
Jonny Ross's video. A spiritual comedy of urban boredom.  Two parallel stories about two dependent fellows faced with the challenge of spending a day alone.  DVD, approx. 12 min.

A thanks from the Cue Up Collective for all those who helped launch a new season and next month we look forward to engaging our audience with a local psychic who will read the VIVO space and will speak about the unseen energies.  Stay tuned for our press release.
