Greetings Richard And Jennifer,
A
Portland pal of mine just forwarded me your announcement of your
upcoming Dada event. Here in Lawrence, Kansas, Mayor Boog
Highberger declared INTERNATIONAL DADAISM MONTH in 2006, and I
organized a Dada event on April Fools Day of that year. The three
hour event was filmed, and I edited the footage into about an hour long
presentation. I have been doing Dadaesque art, audio, and video
for many years. It's highly unlikely that I will be able to
attend your upcoming Labor Day festivities unfortunately, but I could
offer you some materials to share somehow with your
participants/audiences if you are interested.
The link below
leads to my Dada website. It contains the full verbiage of the
Mayor's proclamation, some video links (including a smidge of
Schwitters from the show mentioned above), some photos, and a couple of
links to other Dadaist groups.

of an original Dadaesque activity (which was also performed at the
April 1st celebration mentioned above):

I have many more materials to offer. My main website, TAPED RUGS PRODUCTIONS is at:

I
would be happy to supply video, audio, visual images, etc. for this
event if you are interested. Lemme know if you are and good luck
with your production!
