Still in the news

This is a press release on the grand opening of the Church of Scientology Berlin. I mentioned it before for it's architecture but there has been a lot of news with this org.

At the Grand Opening alone there was over 4,000 in attendance (I heard 5,000+). With news coverage from around the globe.

There were a number of Scientologists there, especially since this followed the announcement by Mr. David Miscavige (Chairman of the Board, Religious Technology Center) at the new years celebration of the org opening.

I have gotten to see a few of these new Churches of Scientology open, like the Church of Scientology San Francisco and they are really amazing. They are there for their city and it's really an amazing display.

Art-chitecture

I wanted to go on a bit more on this building in Berlin, the Church of Scientology that just had it's Grand Opening.

 The tour on the site that goes through the whole of the building (omitting similar rooms like the auditing rooms etc.) is where I'm getting all of my data.

Firstly the beauty in presentation in the tour alone is actually rather magnificent. Then the org itself is actually rather stunning, from the lecture spaces, to the bookstore, to the displays and on and on. The org is built with a concept of art really at every turn.

It has been this way I see now for a great number of Churches of Scientology. Take for instance just the ones opened recently by Mr. David Miscavige. This includes the gorgeous Church of Scientology New York, Church of Scientology Espana (Madrid Spain), Church of Scientology San Francisco and Church of Scientology of Johannesburg.

Each one the essence of the area and a beautiful piece of work.

 The building itself is spectacular. 40,000+ square feet, huge glass windows from end to end.

Restorations

Want to see the greatest film restoration jobs ever? Check out the newly restored and fully colorized "An Introduciton to Scientology."

The original interview with L. Ron Hubbard was shot  in 1966 in Rhodesia and was not well cared for. See the film today and you may be seeing better color and film than you would see in your normal Hollywood movie.  This is following how on the trail as what made the benchmark for film restoration back in March (and still stands as it now sister with this Introduction to Scientology) was the Clearing Congress DVDs.

Another hit to LACHSA

Just thought I'd give a little plug to their concerts with some particulars.

But now in confronting their calendar, I have no idea what's what. But I recall, for the major dance performances that is, a few major performances every year. If I recall with any accuracy it was every quarter, fall, spring, winter and summer. Summar could have been the graduation though, which was huge (usually at the Dorthy Chandler Pavilion).

I'll see if I can find out some photos and post them, until then try to make it to one, they're a blast.

Schooling in the arts

As there is training in the arts well abound through the world, there are a few examplory schools and centers of education on the subject I'll go over. I think you should know about them.

First up is the Los Angeles County High School of the Arts. While I haven't been there in a number of years, their level of performance, over the years I attended their performances, is definitely professional and full of creativity that is unique to the constant growth of a student body under constant new training.

Check out their site here and read up on them, they are an incredible group.
