Registered Theme Camps 2009
Name	Description
Center Camp	Center Camp at Kiwiburn serves a similar function to Center Camp at Burning Man - a stage, generator and amplifier will be available for people to display their skills, be they dj's, musicians, cultural groups, poets or stand up comics. If you would like to schedule a performance or have any questions for Center Camp coordinators, please send email to centercamp@kiwiburn.com.
The Green Fairy	The Green Fairy returns once again to the Paddock. Visit Kiwiburn's premiere black light lounge for a jazzy downtempo ambience, and of course our signature libation. (always looking for guest DJs)
B Movie Camp - Twisted Toons Edition	Short films and animations to blow your mind. We're pleased to present the return of B Movie Camp, this time as the Twisted Toons Edition. As Kiwiburn's resident movie theatre, we'll be showing a random collection of short films, music videos and animations, none of which will be longer than 10 minutes. Some shorts are suitable for children, others might need a little bit of an explanation. But then, some shorts might not be suitable for adults, either!
Band Camp	For those about to rock, we salivate you. We will rock you. And maybe folk you too. And dub you, punk you, metal you, pop you and orchestrate you. We want to hear from bands, solo singer-songwriters, and people who want to bring an instrument for our jam sessions in Centre Camp. Full bands who contact us before November get priority place in our nighttime concerts.Some gear will be provided - small PA, mixing desk, stage, lighting, shelter. Email jon.helix (at) gmail dotcom to enquire. This is a sound camp, but plans to close at midnight.
Balrogs Playpen	You all know what a Balrog is, well, it had babies... the babies have to learn how to use that fire whip some how, and Kiwiburn is just the place for that. Fire-dancers (balrog babies) unite here with fire-poi, staffs, devil stix, whips, skipping ropes, rope darts... etc... At night we will wow you with our flames, during the day we will show you how it's done without fire... We'll make our papa Balrog proud. Child friendly in the daytime, not so much at night.
THE ARK	Saving you from the Flood. Relaxing space to chill out in the day, take refuge from the madness in the night...or pass out on your way back from The Green Fairy. Come in one by one or two by two.. we will rescue you from the flood and we will satisfy you with our cookies. Child friendly, more so in the daytime.
KIWIBURN KOSTUME KORNER/WEARABLE ARTS FASHION HOUSE	The Kostume Korner is coming back and will be bigger and badder than ever. We are merging with the Wearable Arts Fashion House and will have our own location up near the gate. We aim to make everyone paddock-fabulous. Come find and/or make a costume. Clothing, fabric, sewing machine, and lots of decorations will be available to anyone and everyone. Get your costume ready for the Fashion Show on Friday afternoon and the Wearable Arts Parade on Saturday night!NOTE: This camp is looking for help and donations from the community. All shiny, glittery, glowy, furry, funky, and outrageous clothing items (hats, shirts, shorts, pants, slippers, PJ's, coats) and fabric contributions are welcome. Help us create the best fashion house on the paddock! NOTE: We want folks to bring clothes/fabric to contribute. Any clothing that would be suitable for the Fashion Police to carry in their utility belts and hand out to unsuspecting Fashion Code Violators, will be gratefully accepted.
SHAMBALA aka HEALER CAMP	Venue for kiwiburners to heal and be healed. Shambala aka Healer camp will provide a venue for yoga instructors, masseuses, meditation leaders or anyone that has a healing to gift to the kiwiburn community.The physical structure will be a bamboo pyramid clad with sheets or similar size pieces of fabric decorated by members of the community. Feel free to bring one! Please also contact me if you might be able to bring a massage table.There will be a small CD player available. Note: This camp requires assistance from yoga instructors, massueses, meditation leaders etc. Also decorated sheets for the structure. If someone is able to bring a massage table, that would be great.
POLLY'S PUT THE KETTLE ON	Return of the Giant Teapot! The place you go the morning after the night before. Tea and Cake and some night before after aftercare. Some shade and a chill space to hang out in. Also sun block, aftersun. Polly's put the Kettle on will be a place where participants can come and chill out, make cups of tea and generally hang out. It will also be a good place to get your morning coffee.
PRINCESS CAMP	Princess Camp will provide an opportunity for everyone to be a princess. Whether a pirate-princess or a big-hairy lumberjack princess or a pretty-in-pink-fairytale princess, we will have make-up and other stuff to help you feel fabulously decorative when you go out to your fancy ball or other dancing event! Of course we welcome you to bring other princess-like materials, too!We may even have a Build-your-own-Tiara station. Things will be shiny.The safe sex princess will be distributing condoms provided to us as a donation from the San Francisco Center for Sex & Culture.
TEXTURE FOR THE SOUL	Come chill out at Texture For The Soul day or night, with textures and visual aids to enhance any mood :) Enjoy peaceful ambient music and roll around/lie/sleep/swim in all textures imaginable.
CLUB PEDRO	Returning from last year, Camp Pedro is now Club Pedro, we're moving up a level. Come along for good drinks, good music, good vibes and good times.
CHAOS AND CALM	Warped deep ocean bassline rollers, stormy staccato rhythms. A nightly lineup of producers and DJs take you deep underwater on a trip of pshycoacoustic mayhem. Bass heavy sonic landscapes, distorted, tweaked and twisted (and sometimes calm and pleasant). Contributions are welcome from DJs, producers, video artists, anyone who loves the calm and the chaos of the ocean, and would love to represent this through music or video.
THE SKULLFUCK EMPIRE	Looking forward to 2009 and big things are on the horizon. The mighty Skullfuck Empire has emerged triumphant from the flaming ashes of Trailer Trash/JAFAB/Skullfuck. The glorious rule of the One Empire has begun, encompassing in most honorable union the members and resources of all. United under this hallowed banner we are one in our blessed aim, to be the biggest party on the paddock.Vae victis!
YE OL' GENERAL STORE	Purveyors of the finest odds n' ends in the KB region. Roll on up to the Ye Ol' General Store and let our friendly shopkeepers help you track down just the right doodad or thingymajig to help you get the job done. You never know what you might find to help you on your Kiwiburn journey!Forget your Visa card! We accept payment in song-n-dance routines and hugs-n-kisses. Most items available in the store should be relatively PC (ie, somewhat child-friendly)
