Hey Eugene Women! Don't miss your last chance to experience Hot Flash at The Indigo District!
Hot Flash Dances has lost its Eugene venue. We will be having our final Hot Flash dance at the Indigo District on Saturday, May 10, 2008. We want everyone on this mailing list to come out smiling, showing your support and shaking your booties to DJ Lauren's beat! We are currently suspending dances in June while we are looking for a new venue. Any feedback regarding clubs, halls and other fabulous places to hold Hot Flash is welcomed.
Some of you may know Kritik from her many performances at Hot Flash. She is a political hip hop artist and she has come onboard as our new Eugene site manager. She's young, hip, an incredible organizer and she has lots of ideas percolating on ways to increase our numbers and bring us continued success. As I said, we may be seeing some format changes so now is the time to shout out. Send all feedback to her directly. Both Kritik and I will be at the May 10 dance to talk with you so make sure you come out and tell us how best to serve you. See you then!

Sebastiane (1977; Color; Latin with English subtitles; 85 minutes; preceded by a 15-minute interview of Emile Hirsch [The Mudge Boy; Into the Wild] done for PBS in 2007 by Charlie Rose). Plot Summary: (In) 300 A.D. the Roman Sebastianus is exiled to a remote outpost populated exclusively by men. Weakened by their desires, these men turn to homosexual activities to satisfy their needs. However, Sebastianus becomes the target of lust for a homosexual centurion, but he rejects the man's advances. (From IMDb) Trivia: For added realism, the script was taken to a classics scholar, who translated the erotic language of the script into vulgar Latin. This is the only English film ever to have been released in Britain with English subtitles. When asked about the film's nudity, director Jarman is quoted as having said, "We couldn't afford costumes." (From IMDb)

Wittgenstein (1993; Color; 68 minutes; preceded by the enlightening 13-minute interview of Helen Mirren by Morley Safer for 60 Minutes). Plot Summary: A dramatization, in modern theatrical style, of the life and thought of the Viennese-born, Cambridge-educated philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), whose princi-pal interest was the nature and limits of language. A series of sketches depict the unfolding of his life from boy-hood, through the era of the first World War, to his eventual Cambridge professorship and association with Ber-trand Russell and John Maynard Keynes. The emphasis is on the exposition of the ideas of Wittgenstein, a homo-sexual and an intuitive, moody, proud, and perfectionistic thinker generally regarded as a genius. (From IMDb)

May 29, 2008-7:30 PM
The Last of England (1987; Color; 87 minutes). Plot Summary: Jarman's 'state of the nation' address is a po-etic assembly of words and images that details the breakdown of English society during the 1980s, taking in the Falklands War, the Bomb, the Royal Wedding and, of course, Margaret Thatcher. A stylistic tour-de-force driven by both anger and tenderness-for a flight into the abstract it's uncompromisingly direct. (From ica.org)
We'll conclude with the 15-minute ending of Jarman's The Tempest (his adaptation of Shakespeare's play), the famous masque finale in which dancing sailors accompany "Stormy Weather" sung by Elisabeth Welch (the black nightclub singer from 1945's Dead of Night). The VHS slipcase calls it "one of the best moments in recent British cinema". After this 'happy ending' and after the sprite Ariel has been released, we hear Prospero's oft-quoted lines in voice over: "We are such stuff / As dreams are made on, and our little life / Is rounded with a sleep."
