Guided by the deeply rooted traditions of cumbia, salsa, funk, and pyschedelia this masterful ensemble band has forged a fresh new standard of excellence in latin music.

A group of creative people will gather to create and write a short screenplay in a single afternoon. This workshop will combine classical story structure and archetypal character development with an interactive, group participation, format for story development. The participants will then form small groups to write individual scenes in screenplay format and when combined these will constitute our screenplay. Our goal is to then produce a short film using this screenplay. This new workshop format will be presented quarterly. Participation at each workshop will be limited to 12 people and the mix of skills and capabilities will vary for each. Please let us know of your interest in participating in future sessions. All participants will receive equal screenwriting credit and all potential revenues will go to the Alabama Filmmakers Co-op. Presented by Don Tingle (Alabama Filmmakers Co-op Workshop Director) & David Allen Lambert (The Literate Evolutions Co-operative Unlimited). For further info, contact Don at 457-5371.

Saturday - 17th - Anti-Fashion Show, Admission $10, (8:30pm)
The Anti-Fashion Show is sponsored by Karma Rags, located at The Flying Monkey Arts Center in The Historic Lowe Mill Arts and Entertainment facility on Seminole Drive in Huntsville, Alabama. The Anti-Fashion Show takes place on October 17th at 8:30 in the theatre. A reception will follow where guests can relax and see featured work up close, select items to purchase, and place orders with designers.

Anti-fashion can mean many things. In this case it means gathering the work of local DIY [do-it-yourself] designers, plus vintage clothing and vintage blend clothing, then showcasing it in a dramatic runway show with music and incredible atmosphere. Anti-fashion is imaginative, dramatic and defies mainstream fashion ideals.

Do-It-Yourself designers take old clothing or discarded materials such as vintage fabric, rubber or plastic and create new, exciting, and more relevant clothing. Highly talented area DIY clothing artists will present significant current works during The Anti-Fashion Show that will prove exciting in style and demonstrate excellence in design and craftsmanship.

Vintage and Vintage Blend features the unrivaled construction, timeless style and creativity of older clothing by presenting it in a contemporary setting. The clothing in this portion of the show will be directly from the floor of Karma Rags and is ready to wear. Vintage clothing, when well-crafted and designed, never goes out of fashion. Vintage blend, a more relaxed way of wearing vintage, mixes eras and can range from a flouncy frilly 1950's dress with combat boots to an early 1970's pointed collar shirt with new jeans. Many of the vintage and vintage blend pieces will be available for purchase.

Attending The Anti-Fashion Show is an important step you can take in re-considering how you view fashion. Anti-fashion is rebellious, sustainable, and challenges the way society has influenced our clothing selection. Anti-fashion aims to create a higher degree of individuality in how we cover ourselves and moves us to be more thoughtful about the resources, both human and non-human, that’s required in making mass-produced clothing. Anti-fashion is accessible, incredibly fun, and anyone can do it!

Proceeds will benefit The Flying Monkey Arts Center in their continued mission in the presentation of visual and performance art of all kinds. Information on The Anti Fashion Show, including media kits and model sign-up at karmarags@knology.net or 468-5319.
