“Invention & Alchemy”, Deborah's new DVD & CD, has hit the streets and is starting to make tracks! YOU are our strongest publicity! You know first-hand why you love Deborah, her shows and her music. We need you to tell others. Here are three things you can do to help:

A. POST A REVIEW AT AMAZON.COM for the “Invention & Alchemy” DVD. If you don’t have a copy of the DVD yet, see the “September Sale” below. Post your review at Amazon.com by linking here. (You don't need to buy the DVD through Amazon to post a review, you just need to have an Amazon.com account.)

B. BECOME A DHC MYSPACE FRIEND! Post a friend request, leave comments, hear audio clips, see pictures! Come back often! Shara just revamped the site and we’ll have new features often. See it here. If you're new to MySpace and need a quick tutorial, we'll have a link soon from the on-line version of this eblast.

C. TELL YOUR FRIENDS about “Invention & Alchemy” - encourage them to watch it with their kids ... or their parents ... It’s a rare mix of art and entertainment that many generations can enjoy together, so take advantage of that! Kids especially enjoy the “White Rabbit” interactivity, the behind-the-scenes film clips they can access whenever they see the special “White Rabbit” icon. Little kids love “The Garbageman," with its bombastic garbagecan finale, teens are suitably amazed at the rock-guitar-like solos in the blues, and the timpani-harp solo in "Catcher in the Rye," -- and everyone loves "Danger Zone," where the entire symphony turns into a scene from a mad scientist's lab. It’s dazzling, it's beautiful, it's powerful, it’s funny, it’s even ... (drumroll, please) educational! So spread it around! Lend your DVD to friends or buy them copies, get your local video store to carry it, or buy one for your local library. And thru Sept. 30 you can get cut-rate copies! See more information below in the “September CD & DVD Sale!" Or buy it right now at our online orders page!

Deborah’s new Performance Exploration Series “Inviting Invention” (also known as "Inventing Alchemy" starts next week in Arlington, MA! Click tour schedule for more info or for a link to tickets.

The show combines performance, interview, and collaboration between host Deborah Henson-Conant and guests. Through the creative exploration of diverse minds, the audience is invited into the worlds of INVENTION (individual creativity) and ALCHEMY (creative minds exploring together). Example: How is being a nuclear physicist like being a musician, and how can the two possibly create something together — right now — in front of an audience?
