Notice of Annual General Meeting (AGM) Sunday 28th Feb 2010

On Sunday the 28th of Feb at 3pm Earthdance will hold it’s AGM.
First we will address all the conversations that have arisen over the last couple of years about the future direction of the Festival. Paid event, free event, indoor outdoor, volunteer run or paid organisers, moving ahead with no money, not putting on the festival till we have fundraised enough money, how much is enough, membership structure, do we continue in September do we do something in March and something in September, Who’s up for what and how do we move forward?????
We want to discuss this with everyone who has a keen interest in the Festival past and present and make some decisions based that.
Then we will follow with the normal proceedings of an AGM:

Earthdance Melbourne 2009

— Outdoor peace festival—

Now in it’s 11th year, Earthdance Melbourne once again offers it’s section of an incredible global peace festival. Having taken on feedback from our punters on what Earthdance means to them, its is clear that Earthdance Melbourne belongs outdoors; in the sun and on grass! This year we have taken that on board and found an amazing large grassy venue only 10 kilometers from the city!

Launch invitation

This year’s Melbourne Earthdance event asks you to “DIY Peace. Think Global. Dance Local.” In today’s society, thats a refreshing change! It’s making a home-coming to its urban roots, and it’s one for those who want to remember the old Dock parties.

This year’s event happens on Sunday 14th September and will feature at the Docklands with the intriguing theme of “Inside-Out”. The Earthdance crew have said to expect nothing less than state of the art sound, lighting, performers and visual arts. There’ll also be workshops and family activities – all in the name of sustainable living!

Funktion One join the Earthdance crew to present a solo stage covering hip hop, trip hop, downtemp, dubstep, funk, world music, and for old times sakes, techno. Names include Dom Hogan, DJ Cecille, Mo Ichi, Dexter, Dave Pham, Diafrix and much more. Check out the whatson listing for more info/

Also don’t forget that your Earthdance Melbourne ticket helps support various charities both here and abroad including The Sustainable Living Foundation (SLF) Melbourne and Red GUM Forest Preservation (www.saveredgum.org).

This is an all ages event and is reasonably priced at $15 (presale) for a whole day of fun with real meaning. Plus if you bring the kids, they get in free with an adult!

What is Earthdance Melbourne?

Earthdance Melbourne is a stand for Peace.

Every year we focus our energy by joining the global Earthdance community in our Prayer for Peace.

Our intention is to cause peaceful existence on Earth through music, dance and community arts.
