"Is Mach 1 Extreme Enough?" Whip Artistry Lessons & Performances
Ohio area Indiana Jones fans invited to celebrate new film.
Nearly a quarter-century after the release of “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” Harrison Ford returns to the silver screen once more as a swashbuckling archeologist in “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” which opens May 22. The film is the fourth of the franchise and part of what has become something of a cult phenomenon.
To commemorate the release of the movie The Whip Artistry Studio of Jamestown, Ohio is hosting an Indy-Spirited Mini-Con from 7:00 p.m. until 11:00 p.m. on Wednesday May 21at Hawthorn Suites at 730 E. Xenia Drive in Fairborn, Ohio. The premiere party is a family-friendly event and will include costume and trivia contests, snacks, and sale merchandise. In addition, Hawthorn Suites is offering a 10% discount on rooms to all in attendance.
The event will feature professional interactive bullwhip artistry demonstrations and attendees will also have the opportunity to try their hand at whip cracking. A certified instructor from the Society of American Whip Artistry and The Whip Artistry Studio will be there to offer whip-cracking lessons as time and space permits.
A division of GLD Enterprises & Productions, The Whip Artistry Studio is the only permanent facility in the United States dedicated to the study of bullwhips and stockwhips as a performing art and sport. The studio offers whip artistry lessons for individuals and groups ages 6 and up as well as entertaining and interactive performances and educational exhibitions for public and private events.
“Since most of us can’t go to the Hollywood premier parties, we wanted to do something right here at home to celebrate the return of Indiana Jones to the big screen and get some fans together for a fun evening,” said Gery L. Deer, managing director of The Whip Artistry Studio. In addition to managing the studio, Deer is also a professional stage performer, writer, and senior whip artistry instructor.
Until May 15, tickets purchased online are just $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and children under 12. After May 15, and at the door, the cost to attend is $20 per person for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. Reservations are recommended.
