Theme Camps at RR

What Is A Theme Camp?

Theme camps are a collection of like minded individuals devoted to a concept and offer an interactive experience to its visitors. Theme camps can offer a wider range of ambiance and activity.

You are encouraged to register your theme camp prior to the event, to ensure you get a location and the space you require. Registering your camp will also allow Recycled Rainbow to include your camp in the online theme camp guide.

Theme camps are required to follow the same guidelines as everyone else, they are required to pack out everything they pack in and are responsible for any structures they build.

Theme Camps At Elevation:

Camp 362; Bar Soul/Ever

(not in alphabetical order)

Moonshine

A dedication to the Moonshiners of Transformus, this will actually be numerous decorated posts along the road holding little bits of light to illuminate your journey throughout the city. Contact Mediaeval Baebe if you would like to be a part of the nightly precession to light them! starlie[at]emeraldfrequency[dot]com!

Fork In The Road

You wander, in a metaphoric fog…..you look up and there, ahead, is a fork in the road….have you ever had a fork speak to you?  Just when you thought you might go mad because of the overflowing of thoughts and visions within you, this mysterious fork calls to you and invites you to share whatever is in there. Create, write, draw, wax poetic, rail, muse, expound, protest, paint, and create some more. A moment in your life when the fork in the road asks you to choose either ambivalence or to reach higher; apathy or imagination; to dream or to resign.  This is your moment.  Choose your colours wisely.

The Meaningless Tower

A meaningless tower will be constructed on site to commemorate the meaningless importance of making things tall. For the amusement of the general population a go-go cage will be available elevated ten feet in the air as a puzzle for people to figure out how to get in the cage. Solve the riddle of the meaningless tower thing AND BE ELEVATED! Play around the meaningless tower thing! Inhale its toxic vapors! Dance around it! Write things on it! On Saturday night amidst a great deal of spectacle and idiocy, the meaningless tower will be burned to the ground in a truly futile and stupid gesture.

ANYONE IS PERMITTED TO HELP BUILD THE MEANINGLESS TOWER!

9VHH Pyramid

9 Volt will do a performance in front of the pyramid, with images projected on the pyramid’s plastic wall from within.  The show will involve the lighting on fire of an amplifier and a guitar. 9VHH will play at sundown on sat (early as possible).

Untitled #17

There is no cohesive theme binding these art objects together. It’s a personal experiment creating with various found and readymade materials. This installation presents my results.Stop by and experience my finished objects. Most of the art objects will be burned at the end of the event.

This will not be just a passive experience of viewing art objects. There will be a loom set up so that participants can weave various materials into it. Anything goes that can be woven – fabric, yarn, paper, audio-visual tape, grass, twigs, hair, plastic bags – use your imagination! A table with stencils and paint will be set up for t-shirt printing. Bring a t-shirt or other article of clothing to paint.

The Box Model

A concise model of the world in its current incarnation. Feel free to write/draw on the model as you see fit, (paint will be provided), and take a marble, (in case you’ve lost yours:)

Temple Of Friendship, A.S.

The Temple is being built by a group of friends to honor the loss of a fallen friend, Bob Dietrick. Friends getting together to create something, sharing a common bond of friendship with each other and especially to remember this one amazing individual. However, this temple is for everyone to place personal items or memorials to those they have lost recently and in years past. The burning of the temple and it’s contents is intended to have a cathartic value, not closure. As we see the sparks of the fire rise into the air we can only hope that a little sadness will rise from us, only to be filled with more love for the individuals we have lost. We also remember that as we lose people from time to time, new and amazing people are born and brought into our lives all the time.

Events at Elevation:

Everyday:

Every day mask making at the Java Hut: Create a mask that represents the false face you may wear sometimes. Use burnable objects to create them. On Saturday night you can add those masks to the fire to symbolize letting go and rising higher into your true self.
Make a mask that symbolizes the essence of you. This can be made as a permanent mask; one that you may wish to keep. You may use any materials to make this mask. It will not be burned.

Freeform poetry/story sharing sessions every day around noonish at the Decompression Chamber.

Contribute to the tapestry: a loom will be set up at Untitled #17, bring materials to weave with.

The Recycled Rainbow Library will be available throughout the event. Feel free to bring books to add that you are looking to get rid of. All books that are not taken by the burn shall be added to the burn.

Moonshine precession ~ A journey from one end of the Invisible City to the other, to light the little lanterns along the way. We will be parading and playing music to raise the flickering flames! All are welcome! We’ll meet at the Java Hut at sunset:thirty.

At or about midnight, Das Drohnenprojeckt von Mitternach will occur. All may participate. The idea is to coordinate people and musical equipment (read: bring something that makes noise) in various locations about RR to create a massive group drone in a specified key for approximately 15 minutes. The ultimate goal is create waves of sound and energy that wash over all RR participants.
