Description

Are you relieved that you are not who you think you are?
Are you willing to know the truth of yourself?
Have you at some time and in some way been disillusioned with the world?
If you answered yes to any of the above you may enjoy DANCING TO FORGIVENESS, Tatiana Blancos debut performance art CD.

The message of Blancos album is about overlooking the world/a body/a story to the essential truth that lies beyond. It is inspired by the teachings of true forgiveness in 'A Course in Miracles'.

Although the themes addressed include death, forgiveness, letting go, changing the story of ones life, there is a lightness in the way that they are handled that creates a fun, quirky, intimately theatre.

Blanco gratefully acknowledges the musicians and vocalists on the album - Richard Fammere, Peter Wood, Kaiulani Kimbrell, Kate Mays, Manulele Clarke, Jivan Hertzog, Rick Avallone, JP Allen, Humberto Blanco, Visvambhar Das, Radha Dasi, Trey Thompson, Katie Swisher, Genevieve Wood and C - and the team that helped produce, mix and master the record:

RICHARD FAMMERE, co-producer and co-writer describes the album as Blancos artistic vision, theres nothing calculated about it. There are a lot of jokes on this album. Its one of the funniest albums Ive ever heard because Tatianas one of the funniest people Ive ever met. She is dedicated to the truth. It is for everyone, all ages, within the framework that it is never too late to have a happy childhood.

PETER WOOD, co-producer and engineer describes Blanco as funny, with a full-on stage face but underneath she is very deep spiritually. Blancos real gift is commitment and depth.

DAVID TICKLE, who finally mixed and mastered the album says, I really like listening to this record. It has moments of being really cool, moments I can drift off into. Most albums have one or two moments - this album has many.



WHO IS TATIANA BLANCO?

Well, in the opening lyrics of the opening song she tells you she is not her body, she is free. So what's her story? It started in the 60s in Mid-Wales and England breezed through London fashionably in the 80s... through India and Pakistan as a travel writer and to Kauai (Hawaii) in 1997 where it has been unfolding ever since.

Her poetry and writing have been published in Tatler, Wishbone, Paris/Atlantic Review, The Frontier Post Lahore, Zento, We Moon. She was a winner of Poems on the Buses (London) and featured on RAW: Recorded Art Words (Chicago); and is a Garden Island Arts Council Poetry Fest winner. Blanco represents English language poetry from Wales on Universe, a virtual United Nations of Poetry. (www.UniVerseofpoetry.org). She uses her poetry as a vehicle to showcase poetry/theatre/metaphysics.

She studied 'Psychology of Vision' with Chuck and Lency Spezzano and studies 'A Course In Miracles' with Tom and Linda Carpenter. She is a Universal Minister and Counsellor, she performs Hawaiian Temple Bodywork, and practices Ayurvedic medicine and Somatic Learning(sm) Yoga.

Blanco lives on the Hawaiian island of Kauai with her husband. They welcome guests from around the world for vacations, retreats and (relaxed) Kauai weddings. www.retreats.islandenchantment.com.

LYRICS & CREDITS TRACK 2: circus

when I open my eyes I
look out on the world and I {pop]
see nothing makes sense
cos the world denies all
all Ive learned about love

when I close my eyes I
sink into my soul and I
nothing there has changed

Pam is there and I am there
and nothing there has changed
she is god and I am god and
we are god and she is god
and I am god and we are god
and nothing there has changed

when I open my eyes I
look out on the world and I
see nothing makes sense
cos the world denies all
all Ive learned about love

unfolding enfolding look into your sky
unfolding enfolding look into your sky

I am a circus pony passing through the veil
I am a circus pony passing through the veil

when I close my eyes I [cheering]
sink into my soul and I
see nothing there has changed

Pam is there and I am there
and nothing there has changed
she is god and I am god and
we are god and nothing there
has changed

LYRICS & CREDITS TRACK 3: art

When I asked her what she did she said
I play with words with words she said
I let them come from love she said
in beauty do I walk

o in beauty do I walk she said
in beauty do I walk
o in beauty do I walk she said
in beauty do I walk

Then I turned to him beside and said
What do you do inside? he said
I play with space and light he said
in beauty do I walk

o in beauty do I walk he said
in beauty do I walk
yes in beauty do I walk he said
in beauty do I walk

Then I turned to her beside and said
What do you do inside your head?
I play with love and paint she said
in beauty do I walk

o in beauty do I walk she said
in beauty do I walk
o in beauty do I walk she said
in beauty do I walk

then I turned to him inside of her
and said, When you come out of her
What kind of art will you bring through?
in beauty will you walk?

and from the womb inside of her
I heard his forming waters cry
Ill sing when I come out of her
in beauty will I walk

Yes in beauty will I walk he said
in beauty will I walk
Yes in beauty will I walk he said
in beauty will I walk

LYRICS & CREDITS TRACK 4: No one

Blah blah blah Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Here she is staggering ragged from a grey tent wild eye her hair her hair her womb outworn. Here she is blah blah blah staggering ragged staggering ragged from a grey tent wild eye wild eye wild eye wild eye wild eye her hair ergh her hair her hair her hair [cough] [cough] Here she is staggering ragged from a grey tent wild eye her hair ergh her hair her womb outworn O MY GOD! This is me! No
wait a minute. This isnt me!
This is my story.

Ive learned better than to upturn the tent or be seduced by empathy.
Ive learned better than to upturn the tent or be seduced by empathy. Aha. Ive learned simply to take my glasses off, to take my glasses off and look again. Ive learned better than to upturn the tent or be seduced by empathy.
Ive learned simply to take my glasses off to take my glasses off off, and look again.
Who is she? Shes just a story.
She is not goddess in disguise, not illness bearing gift. No. Take my glasses off and look again. This is not goddess in disguise, not illness bearing gift. This is POOF! dandelion fluff, no more real than the world she cuts her teeth on. This is POOF! dandelion fluff, no more real than the world she cuts her teeth onteeth onteeth on.
Now its time to disappear her.watch her body pour itself back into 0000 and the path she walked in time roll itself up like a ribbon into nothinginto nothing.
Now its time to disappear her
Now its time to disappear her
Now its time to disappear her into nothing
Now its time to disappear her into nothing
Now its time to disappear her into nothing
[steam] for she is no one.

LYRICS & CREDITS TRACK 6: Ce soir

Sitting at the door of my nostril
deux lampes brulent devant moi
ostrich world clear as green dunes
entre les fenetres nouvelles

ce soir

Girl with light brown hair
coute les corteges
orange purple wavering blue
aah vierges tissues

ce soir
ce soir

Its impossible to judge
le parfum ou tu reposes

Purple goats are rising up
le tapis de toujours
offring themselves like a bride
toujour toujours

ce soir
ce soir

To judge is to tumble off
ou ailleurs
to fall in to chaos
ou ailleurs
ou ailleurs ou ailleurs
ou il y a une autre guerre

and I like it here
partout
on the soft edge with the view
partout
partout

LYRICS & CREDITS TRACK 10/11: Teatime/Hush of Heaven

so I just remembered! and I want to tell you!
I did sing when I was little and I did dance
because every day we had to go on this walk,
nanny, my brother, my sisters, maybe mummy
(not sure) and the dogs and the pram
and I hated it -- I hated going on walks --
but I just remembered there was this one
part that made it all, all ok somehow
so off wed go down the drive across the
cattlegrid - on & on I thought it
would never end and through the gate
and along the road to the llwynowen farm
turn and wed pick the milk up that mr raison
had put out for us and then when we were coming home
once wed got inside our front gate
I started to dance in circles -- round and round and
round inviting everybody to tea -
come to tea with me! please!
I would dance round and round
asking everyone
please please come to tea with me!
all the way up to the cattlegrid
come to tea with me!
come to tea with me!
wont you please please please
wont you come to tea with me!

and my favourite place when we got back
to the house was -- I would sneak out to my special
hedge -- and mr. price hed cut me a door into it -
that was my front door to go in from the rose garden
and Id take my little pink teacup and saucer with me

and who would come to tea with me? lets see --
the dogs (they always came) spadie anyway (he always came) and maybe some birds and susie (I brought susie) and brown teddy
and we would sit in the hedge and have tea
so much more fun than in the nursery

o the hush of heaven holds my heart today
o the hush of heaven holds my heart today
o the hush of heaven
holds my heart today

o the hush of heaven holds your heart today
o the hush of heaven holds your heart today
o the hush of heaven
holds your heart today

o the hush of heaven holds our heart today
o the hush of heaven holds our heart today
o the hush of heaven
holds our heart today
holds our heart today

even when we forget
