The Arcane Vampire Ball

Excited to create an original blood lust shadow tale to the Arcane Vampire Ball!

We invite all of you creatures of the night to come and experience a dark romantic evening of dancing, decadence, interactive role-playing, and some of the best performance art you will ever see.

Inspired by Vampire Hunter D, Vampire in the Garden, and The Blood of Eden book series, Carpathia 2059 is a world where vampires rule the night, while mankind is suffering severe instability. Vampires live in luxury, but humans live only to survive and fight against them. On April 28th, in Denver, a city where the rocky mountains of Colorado have now become Carpathia, we summon all creatures of the night to a grand masquerade ball in a sanctuary known as The Church Nightclub! One of the most feared havens for the undead.

DRESS CODE: For this theme, elegant, vampiric, monstrous, and post-apocalyptic inspired looks are encouraged! A strict minimum dress code will be enforced. Please refer to the dress code page on our website as well as the Pinterest board below for guidance and inspiration:

Please no: Streetwear, ball caps, t-shirts, hoodies, khakis, blue jeans, etc. We will also NOT permit anyone wearing outfits depicting neo-nazism or fascism.

NOTICE: There will be no costume weapons allowed.

So come on out! Dress in your best, and let’s enjoy the most hauntingly enchanted time of your lives!

The Silent Film Festival began in 2020 as a way to keep dancers, filmmakers, and musicians active with cross country collaborations, support as many artists as possible during lockdown, and further investigate the unspoken bond between movement and musical creation.

Spirits and Spirits Festival
Oct
22
2:30 PM14:30

Spirits and Spirits Festival

Explore the Park after dark and step into the otherworldly realm of Victorian Spiritualism. Enjoy adult libations, delectable provisions and fantastical amusements! This event for guests 21 and older.

Victorian Spiritualism is the 19th century movement that maintained that the spirits of the dead had both the ability and the desire to communicate with the living. After the carnage and trauma of Westward Expansion and the Civil War, Americans sought comfort in the idea of an afterlife that still allowed them to have contact with their loved ones beyond the veil — to make amends, to share secrets and to seek answers to questions left unasked.

New this year, experience Grim Mountain Legends based on true stories of hauntings, murder, and the supernatural from Colorado presented by LuneAseas. Don’t forget to have a look in the Metaphysical Marketplace for unique crystals and curios! This event is for guests 21 and older.

Spirit Pass – $35

  • Grim Mountain Legends performances throughout the Park (see below for more details)

  • Take a lantern-lit self guided tour of the House Museum, and catch a glimpse of a time-honored Victorian mourning ceremony.

  • Spy our spirited sprites as you search for the fabled Cottingley Fairies, collect a prize if you find all 7!

  • Make a Victorian coffin plate as a memento mori from the evening’s festivities.

  • Make your own creepy corn husk spirit doll

  • Screening of The Phantom Carriage with a live string scoring!

  • Mile High Face Paint will be onsite offering one design for free. They’ll have more intricate designs available for purchase.

LuneAseas is ringing out the summer with the 3rd annual Silent Film Festival.
“Like a music video, but instead of the video being driven by the music, the composition of the music is driven by the movement in the video.”

Which came first the chicken or the egg or music or the movement?

Like in the early days of film no audio or music score came with film in the cinema. It was up to the musician employed by the cinema to create a score based on what they saw and felt from the film. It was also important for the musician to be able to tell a story with a beginning, middle, and end. Many times the employed musician would have to rely on their improvisational skills to build the composition.

Watch the Adam Bodine Trio create on the spot compositions to classic Silent Films

Independent Silent Film Festival 3.0 IN-PERSON

Independent Silent Film Festival 3.0 IN-PERSON

The Independent Silent Film Festival 3.0 will feature live music creation while showing classic silent films, live performances, and new collaborations from across the country.

The first hour of films will include classics such as Charlie Chaplin’s The Kid; excerpts from Metropolis, a 1927 German expressionist science-fiction drama; and two Georges Méliès works: The Mermaid and The Haunted House. While they're being projected, Adam Bodine and his trio will accompany the films with music. Throughout the evening dancers will perform, displaying how silent film stars are some of the first contemporary dancers.

Last year audience members said: ”LuneAseas has successfully pulled together a fun creative event that can be enjoyed safely”; ”Sometimes I can’t tell what came first, the music or the movement. These collaborations are truly remarkable”. The silent film festival will host up to 12 films from filmmakers, dance, circus, and theatre troupes from Colorado and across the world. Each short film will be paired with local or independent musicians to create a musical backdrop for each film. The musician's role for the 3-5 min film is to record a musical interpretation of what they see in the film, then the recording will be synced up to the film.

The festival will premier new short films and works from Colorado artists:

In the Wings (Denver) - Front Range Contemporary Ballet Company (Fort Collins) - Dance Express (Fort Collins).

It will also feature a selection of international and national artists:

Stopgap Dance Company (U.K.) - Jeremy Speed Schwartz (New York) - Luca Di Bartolo (Italy) -

Stacy Pascal Gaspard ( Los Angeles) - Shi Wei (China) - Yuuki (Japan) - Pierre GAFFIé (France)

The films will be accompanied by scores from local favorites:

Los Mocochetes - Russick Smith - 12 cents for Marvin bassist Hillary Freeman - Cerise Sprauge

Kira Lynn Sands - Anthony Arras - Jeremy Woodard- national act Lean Year, and more!
