The Bone Show
Preface ~
The folk literature of the world speaks from the
accumulated traditions of its own diverse beginnings.
Common to all these traditions are the desires to
understand and to participate in both the known and
the still-to-be-known worlds. It all adds up, the folk tell
us, will all make sense, someday, to somebody.
THE BONE SHOW is a ghost dance, a chronicle of
characters and ideas that, because of their folk origins,
are able to interact in and with the Present. They
remain able to move beyond the known, are able to
recreate from the Past, a Now and Future.
The inspiration and focus of the dance, the I CHING,
first appeared as an outgrowth of folk traditions in
ancient China. We know the eight characters who
move through the dance from European and North
American traditions as well as Asian. We know that
what was done before will be done again. We too, have
watched it happen. We know, even as we watch the
dancers change, that it's all the same dance.
