Secret Location

Compete : $10 (free beer)
Feast : $50 limited seating available

A message from J Ashley Miller :

Under the scrutiny of intelligence, the Hero's Shadow is the primordial villain.

In order to catch some of your Shadow you need three basic things: speed, stealth, and awareness. Each of these gifts are attainable, though the means of their acquisition are usually drab and repetitive. Lucky for us, there is a holistic practice which both cultivates these three skills AND is actually fun. This practice is called Ninja. Now, you may think that a ninja is a hackneyed cultural artifact, a traditional private agent of death and deceit which provided espionage and mercenary service to the feudal Japanese elite. But I am talking about Ninja, a new form of school-yard-style game. Like all truly fantastic games, the rules of Ninja are simple:

 

  •  Only one Ninja may move at a time, clockwise according to the position of the player at the beginning  of the game. An offensive move out of turn calls for disqualification
  •  If your hand is touched by another Ninja, you lose 
  •  Ninjas must uphold their own Honor

 


Interpretations of Honor vary from community to community, and player to player.  However, there are a basic set of honorable understandings which most ninjas seem to uphold.

 

  •   At the end of your attack, you should instantly freeze.
  •   If you recoil before another Ninja has attacked, you return to your previous position.

 


Simultaneously physical, poetic, proper, performative, and preposterous, Ninja is poised to be the training tool for a new breed of contemporary hero. For AVATAR NINJA, competitors will play in six distinct styles demonstrated by visiting masters. Ninjas participating in the open tournament will be accompanied by a pit of musical avatars, including Jeff Kimmel, David Moré, Frank Van Duerm and more.

Don’t want to play?  Enjoy a feast courtside.  A portion of your meal ticket goes to feed hungry residents attending Harold Arts’ 2011 Residency Programs. Our chef Sy Barsheshet will be preparing an Olympic feast of festive treats.  

Including:

  • International Antipasto
  • Moroccan Chicken 
  • Braised Short Ribs
  • Mashed Sweet Potatoes
  • Chinese Broccoli 
  • Seasonal Broth
  • Chianti and homemade cider courtesy of Joe Grimm


The tournament's champion will more than likely spring unseen from the masses, and so we call to you, secret champions. Are you a MODERN HERO? You can be. As you have always been. We are all free.  Play Ninja.
