Two arty\/fannish projects are going that you may want to support. The first is Heather Dale’s Celtic Avalon<\/i><\/a> touring show and DVD; the second is the Inspector Spacetime movie<\/a>, with Travis Richey (The Inspector), Chase Masterson (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine<\/i>), Mayim Bialik (The Big Bang Theory<\/i>), and, oh my gods, Sylvester McCoy (The Seventh Doctor, The Hobbit<\/i>). I can’t believe they’ve talked an actual Doctor Who into working this parody project. XD<\/p>\n

But that’s later this week. Today, I’m going to talk about Heather Dale’s project, Celtic Avalon<\/i>.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

The Celtic Avalon project is a combination of a new touring stage show, a DVD, and a youth education program, all based on the King Arthur legends.<\/p>\n

Heather has been touring and writing for years now; she’s toured across all of North America and parts of Europe; she’s played the geekmusic festival nwcMUSIC that I run at Norwescon; she’s been producing shows with her band for 15 years; and she is, in my experience, one of nicest people I have met in this whole dman business.<\/p>\n

The show itself will be about the legends surrounding King Arthur. She has a couple of decades of material to draw on, but knowing her, there’ll probably be new works in there as well. It’ll be accompanied by a professionally-produced concert DVD, which is where the DVD part comes in. That’s all the art side.<\/p>\n

The educational programme will apply those legends to modern life. Heather’s more of an optimistic person than I am – of course she is, I’m a supervillain<\/eM>, so that’s not surprising – and draws a lot of inspiration from this whole founding English mythos. She thinks others can, too.<\/p>\n

This is the biggest project I’ve seen her attempt. If any of this sounds even vaguely<\/eM> interesting, go read up about it here<\/a>. She has acres of data and plans available for you to wade through. Or you can just say “Sounds good to me!” and throw in your support.<\/p>\n

Oh, and for the record: this is not my project, I’m not involved, I’m not seeing a nickel of this. I just see some people doing some ambitious work and throwing my support their way. Hopefully some of you will, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
