THE EDWARDIAN BALL 2011, SF

Tickets on sale now and going fast! Click here for purchase.

The Edwardian Ball is a celebration of turn-of-the-century splendor and the art and stories of the late, great author/illustrator Edward Gorey. Produced by PARADOX Media in partnership with Vau de Vire, the concept was created by and is hosted by San Francsico-based Edwardian house band Rosin Coven, the World's Premiere Pagan Lounge ensemble. For the past several years Rosin Coven has collaborated with the unparalleled avante-acrobatic aerial troupe Vau de Vire Society to enact a selected Gorey tale on stage. Add more live music by "Belle of The Ball" Jill Tracy, ballroom dancing with Vima Ballroom & Burlesque, modern day-dancing with Edwardian Disc Jockeys Miz Margo, FACT 50, and others, and costumes galore, and you have yourselves a Ball! New this year to the Edwardian World are longtime friends and collaborators Cirque Berzerk, LA's unparalleled, sexy-firey-high-flying circus stars!

A Brief History of The Edwardian Ball: One hot and dusty afternoon in a remote desert at the turn of the century, two gentlemen and a lady sat sipping black martinis in a strange and little-known oasis known as The Pagan Lounge. "I say," ventured the first gent, "wouldn't it be smashing to throw a ball in honor of the ghastly tales of Sir Edward Gorey?"

"Oh yes indeed!" agreed the lady emphatically. "We could all dress...Edwardian!"

"I love it!" cried the third. "Perhaps we could find an elegant yet irreverent house band to tell the stories and set them to music. Perhaps that band is...right here amongst us!"

It was true - they looked up from their dust-stained cups to find none other than Rosin Coven carousing around the bar nearby. They were perhaps the only Pagan Lounge Ensemble skilled enough yet foolish enough to tackle such a task.

On a handshake it was agreed, then and there, that the ball would commence that very December in San Francisco. The finest artists were assembled from throughout the land and The Edwardian Ball was born. It has now become a splendid annual tradition and the rest, as they say, is history.

..

Who I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in Edward Gorey, ballroom dancing, dressing in costumes, and with a dark, mischevious sense of humor.
