Vau de Vire, Opel Productions & Kink.com presents: NEW BOHEMIA NYE 2015

The Vision: The next evolution in co-creating a world like no other! In association with Opulent Temple, Distrikt, Dusty Rhino & more

New Bohemia is not just the 2nd Annual NYE’s event at the iconic Armory, it’s also a special and co-created place. A world like no other. Part the velvet red curtains to find an SF twist on those timeless bohemian values of Truth, Beauty, Love and Freedom. Further into the castle find cutting edge sounds, SF’s most dynamic creative communities, and the synergy of intentional revelry on the precipice of a new year.  Poets and performers, aerialists and DJ’s, burlesque dancers and live painters, acrobats and absinthe hawkers, Art Cars and visual treats, crimson busts and decadent costumes; are all to be found in different markets, plazas, private upstairs chambers and titillating dark corners and streets inside New Bohemia NYE. We intentionally did not go for the ‘mega headliners’, because we’re much more interested in creating a community based spectacle of art and talents amongst the amazing people of the SF artistic underground. And – we wanted to keep the ticket prices accessible for a party this big and offering so much on NYE. The curtain is raising again on the show worth getting excited about New Years Eve. Let’s ring it in together.

Dress code? Not really, but sky is the limit on your creativity! The playa meets Moulin Rouge is our costume suggestion

YEP- we know the line sucked last year. This will be remedied. Still – help us help you by arriving early. We’re opening at 8:00 instead of 9:00 to hopefully reduce the crush.

LOTS of volunteer opportunities, write us

We know we’ve asked for your support again and again, but we think it’s fair to say we show you a good time doing it, and our track record is pretty damn good at delivering. So come see what we do with our toys in the Drill Court, and let’s be Opulent together.

Have some Art or Gift you’d like to share and support the cause? Want to set up a vending booth? Please contact info@opulenttemple.org Hearing about our plight, the kind supporters at the Armory are letting Opulent Temple run wild in the Drill Court of this historic building. As you know we went big-big at Burning Man this year, and despite our best efforts and awesome community support, our debt is pretty intense and it’s currently severely limiting our future options. (For a nice visual aid on what kind of how big we went – please see this video that’s a great collage of moments from OT this year put together by camp mate Kevin Bennett.)

Opulent Temple also officially formed a new 501c non-profit this year with our mission intact to bring sacred dance to world class music with the goal of positive social change, but also to funnel some of those efforts into public art and community beautification

3 Areas of Music featuring our new O Pod 3.0 (Armagan), + our new LED lit DJ booth, big visuals and art from OT and friends.

A 100% Benefit for Opulent Temple’s 501c and for our future!

Black Rock City,  NV

10:00 & Esplanade

Opulent Temple is pleased to come back after a well deserved break last year for our 11th offering of sacred dance to world class music. We worked really hard all year long to re-vamp our look with a new DJ booth, 3D visual screens and more touches we know you’ll enjoy. It’s large scale joy creation, though not just for joy’s sake, but also to connect and awaken, and to bring those lessons and moments back to the world to be a force for good. The world needs our engagement amidst it’s chaos and turbulence.

Thank you all for your ongoing support of us and our events so that we can be here to do what we do. As we know you know, it’s a community effort, solely supported by you and us. See you under the stars and the fire!

Opulent Temple presents: Tipping Point

TFriday July 11, 2014

9:30PM – 4:00AM

The Public Works SF
161 Erie Street, San Francisco CA 94103

21+

Opulent Temple enlists your support one last time this summer to help us reach our “Tipping Point” to make our 2014 camp happen. To pack the most dancing mojo out of this do or die fundraiser, we’ve enlisted 3 awesome and eclectic world-class staples of their respective sounds. To go big on this one, we’ll also be taking over the street outside the club for an expanded outdoor area with Art Cars, silent disco, Art works and more fun in the works.

We have one more mission to reach our ‘Tipping Point’ of being able to give you the offering we hope to give in the desert this year. To pack the most dancing mojo out of this do or die fundraiser, we’ve enlisted 3 awesome and eclectic, world-class staples of their respective sounds to absolutely blow the roof off our last party before embarking.

Epic breaks and electro power from one of the American pioneers of dance music in TCM. UK Drum n Bass legend Aphrodite just never disappoints and the ultra talented producer and DJ Funkagenda will bring his fresh takes on house and tech upstairs for more party than you’ll know what to do with. (Actually, we’re quite confident you’ll totally know what to do!)

Dress funky people. Not to be missed!
