Ripley's Believe It or Not!

Believe It or Not!  ~Branson, Missouri

  I must say, this place was cool, a little freaky and pricey for me and my kids.  Nonetheless, it was unique the whole way through from beginning to end.

  This was a self guided tough through the interesting artifacts, which allowed for more time to actually check out the interesting artifacts.  Initially, my boys were afraid to go in because of the 'cracked' structure of the building.  The split theme was from the outside in. Actually, I think the building alone was their main form of curiosity.  Since they've never seen anything like this before...they wanted to stop and inspect every crack they saw.  They couldn't understand why someone make a building with a bunch of cracks.

  They all really enjoyed the displays as well as the crazy mirrors along the pathways.  The tour ended with a really cool {very disorienting!} spinning light tunnel with a bridge you walk across to get through the room.  

  Of course, the 2 story Optimus Prime was my boys favorite!  Below are a few of our pictures.

And like all the places we visit...the gift shop is always their favorite!

Oklahoma Dance Film Festival

  A True Dance Festival!

This group has such a unique style unlike any other 'poetry in motion' with music, than I have ever seen before!  This performing traveling group is based from Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I'm a huge fan of live performances, plays, music, movement, and art.  By using Screendance, this group uses the language of dance and the media of film to create a new stage for performance and a new genre of media.  I'm so glad I got to take my oldest son Malachi to see Oklahoma Dance Film Festival perform live.  We then spent the whole evening talking about how you can use your body as an expression of art.

You must watch this 1 minute video they filmed about positive and negative space.  An incredible work of art.

So last night I took him to see them live to an 

 Outdoor Film Series 

    Featuring  

OUT OF SIGHT

2014 Oklahoma Dance Film Festival 

Friday, June 13, 2014

Out of Sight is a collection of short dance films from

 the 2013 Oklahoma Dance Film Festival, with live

performance by dancers from Tulsa Modern Movement

and The Bell House.  Both video and live dance play with

visual concepts of sight: revealing and concealing.

positive and negative space, presence and perspective.

Our evening could not have been better.  The temperature was cool, and we got to sit under a spectacle ceiling of stars and a full moon.

Malachi & Me :)
