Have you already thought that your life has a sense?
Can you explain what it means to you?
Remember every second in your life is a chance
You must believe ‘coz it’s true

Now look at the sky
Find your way
Hope is stronger than cry
Remember the sun rises up every day

[Poem written by Tita's friend and proposed to ICE. Thanks ]

Then a valiha’s strings sang,
Women dance, move their shoulders,
Shake their dresses’ bright colors,
They stop. They open umbrellas…
Turn round, parading their lambas
With that drum’s beats’ clang.

Suddenly all fall silent !
Deep voices come, singing loud.
And men in blue malabary come out,
Women drop out umbrellas
And dance stretching out lambas.
Oh, how wonderful is hiragasy !

I wish it would never, never stop.
But I have no more words to drop.
Too amazing to be told precise.
See by yourself, rest is surprise!

This is the marvelous hiragasy.

It was during the IEW Faire that slammers Lan and Kya proposed us the interesting idea of having Poetry Slam at the club. They exposed us how they’d proceed to explain and show the members what Poetry Slam is. “The goal is to show them that everybody can be a slammer” Lova said.

A week later, we had our first ICE Slam Session with a presentation about Poetry Slam followed by a workshop. We can say everybody had fun writing something of their own and then performing it in front of the others. The board decided to have a monthly session, more precisely every third Saturday of the month. It will start at 9am and will finish before the general meeting at 10am.

This video, produced by Lalah, shows the third ICE Poetry Slam Session and the ambiance during it. The guys were given 10mn to write something out from the words “Love”, “leaf”, “life” , “rain”and “laugh”.

Usually, towards the end of the year we ask the members for feedbacks in order to better the club. And that’s what we did with the help of HL who kindly made up a form for that purpose. We also took this occasion to reward the winners of the quizz we had during our last Movie Session of the year.

The ICE Club and all its members wish you happy holidays filled with LOVE, PEACE and JOY.

In case you didn’t know it, we took part into the IEW’09 at the national Library of Anosy on November 18 and 19. The members did an amazingly amazing great job!! (ain’t too much lool). And only for that, we’re also greatly thankful to each one of them. This following video (the seconde part here) was mad for that occasion. We had to split it into two parts because of the internet connection in here (duh!).

Don’t forget our last Movie Session of this year. Our host, Hary, is already excited to receive all the ICE crazy members. We’ll be watching “The Hangover” and then we’ll have a quizz to find out who followed and understood the movie. There will be prizes of course.

That’s not all. The ACC (Antanimena) will organize a documentary film projection next week (Wednesday 09) about human trafficking that promises to be very interesting. We don’t know exactly what time it will start but it should be between 12 and 12.30.

Yeah, that’s it. We hope to see you in one of our activities. Until then take care and have a nICE day.

The first part of a video  we made for the IEW’09 Fair at the National Library of Anosy. For the time being you can watch the first one on our facebook profile. We’ll put it here soon.
