RITUALS
Continued from Page 7 A
Rituals of this nalrni* have their roots in tribal
cultures and Eastern religions, especially Tibetan
buddhism Trowbridge and Dunbar say they have
an eclectic view of spirituality and magic that
does not incorporate traditional religion, although
Trowbridge has studied them She says that even
traditional religions have practices that am sup
posed to bring believers to a higher state, such as
the use of incense and the practice of kneeling
and singing
Piercing is a ritual used by tribal cultures that is
still in evidence today in modern society.
Circumcision is a rile of passage that has become
a common medical procedure -Now men are join
ing women in the "ritual" of ear piercing. Many
people are beginning to pierce their noses, if only
for the look, which Dunbar agrees with.
"Body adornment is fabulous." Dunbar said "1
have no judgment about reasons." Dunbar has
born doing piercings for four years and recently
began doing them commercially at Antrican in
Eugene.
Trowbridge also enjoys piercings. She says that
"you can pierce anything to make it prettier. It
doesn' ! have to be limited to the ears.” She also
likes piercings because “anything that breaks out
of the norm says this is my body, not owned by
the stale."
Lucy Lizz.ard. hooking agent for John Henry’s
was pleased with the show. She said she enjoyed
it and wants them to come back. The ritual wili
lie taking place again with Sow Belly, and there
are even plans to take it to Portland and San
Francisco.
If you are interested in this type of'perfor
mance. be forewarned. Some members of the
audience were clearly disturbed. One women had
to retreat to the bathroom while the show was
going on.
