Event Booklet

CIRCLE CITY AERODROME ANGEL BURLESQUE • Q ARTISTRY INDIANA POLIS, IN

WELCOME TO

This includes Steampunkaneers as well as people who aren’t Steampunk at all; the fascinated, the curious, and the completely confused. Welcome, all of you, to the Circle City Aerodrome.

A few simple things for you to know and remember this weekend: • Nobody owns Steampunk and that is one of its greatest strengths.

• Everyone was new to Steampunk once.

• Be as Steampunk as you want to be.

• Costumes don’t mean consent.

• Imagination encouraged – commonsense required.

We’ve formalized these ideas in our Circle City Aerodrome EOS {Equal Opportunity Statement}: “We are nondiscriminatory in however you may interpret the steampunk genre whether by race, class, gender, religion, orientation, time-period, or dimension.” We also have a full Code of Conduct which is located in our program and available at CCA Customs.

Having said that, come look around and meet the denizens of the Aerodrome, fellow travelers and the occasional native speaking Hoosier. We’ve come together to create a trans-dimensional travel hub open for everyone.

We’re all here to be part of the entertainment, live music, celebrations, games, theatre, dance, things to learn, things to taste, new experiences, friendly people, surprises, discussions, cabaret, and so much more yet to be imagined or realized.

Step through & play!

Unconventional Treasure Hunting: No Digging Required

Since the mid-1800s, people have been secretly placing hidden treasures throughout the world for others to discover.

This workshop appeals to explorers, artists, makers, gadget lovers, and the kid in all of us.

INSTRUCTOR Lady Anne Raven When Lady Anne Raven is not busy scouring the world in search of Flying Sea Stallions or tracking down the rare Three-Horned Okapi Gazelle, she travels the globe with her husband in search of hidden treasures.

Over the last ten years they have located more than 5,000 geocaches in 4 countries — including 40 territories of North America.

Lost Tribes, Sunken Continents, and Ancient Astronauts?

Critical Thinking about Alternative Histories from the American Heartland

This lighthearted, heavily illustrated allocution and discussion examines fantastic claims about the past from right here in the Indiana region—including ancient alien interventions, crop circles, big foot and other cryptozoids, Atlantis, and assorted transoceanic explorations well before Columbus. Such ideas are fun to think about, but how well do they hold up under the scrutiny of critical thinking, and could some of them even be dangerous?

INSTRUCTOR Dr. Larry Zimmerman Dr. Larry J. Zimmerman is Professor of Anthropology and Museum Studies at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis {IUPUI} and Public Scholar of Native American Representation at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. He taught at the Univ. of South Dakota from 1974–1996.

After leaving there as Distinguished Regents Professor, he served as Chair of American Indian and Native Studies at the University of Iowa until 2001, then as

Head of the Archaeology Department for the Minnesota Historical Society until 2004. He is a past VP of the World Archaeological Congress, which in 2008 awarded him the Peter J. Ucko Medal for his contributions to world archaeology. He has published more than 25 professional and popular books and nearly 300 papers on Native Americans, ethics in archaeology, pseudoscience in archaeology, and cultural heritage management. He regularly teaches a course at IUPUI called “Lost Tribes, Sunken Continents, and Ancient Astronauts: Pseudoscience and the Past.” Look for his forthcoming book on the topic, 50 Great Myths in Archaeology, to be published by Blackwell in late 2015.

Contra dance refers to several partnered folk dance styles in which couples dance in two facing lines or in a group of four.

A type of social dance, contra dancing involves steps that require a partner.

Throughout the course of a dance, couples progress up and down these lines, typically interacting with different couples as they progress. The dance is led by a caller who facilitates a walkthrough before the actual dance begins. Callers describe a series of steps called “figures”, and in a single dance, a caller may include anywhere from 6 to 12 individuals figures which are repeated as couples progress.

You do *not* need a partner to attend!

Walk Urban Indy’s Promenade around Victorian Indianapolis

Step back in time, literally, and take a 1.5 mile historical walk around downtown Indianapolis featuring Victorian-age architecture. Indianapolis was established in 1820; the Capitol was moved from its former location in Corydon on the Ohio River in 1825. The City was originally designed to be one-mile square with the city limits set as North, South, East and West streets.

INSTRUCTOR Alexandria Spizengard, CCA Ticketing Agent and co-founder of Walk Urban Indy

In her regular life, Alexandria goes by the name Brenda Havens and is co-founder of Walk Urban Indy {WUI}, a local, grassroots organization encouraging residents to walk in their neighborhoods {as a health initiative and so much more}. The first walk WUI {pronounced woo-y} establishes in a neighborhood is always an historical walk tying the past, present, and the future together. Check us out on Meetup. com to see where we are walking, or on our website, walkurbanindy.org.
