Event Details

Awaken and deepen your music & performance abilities by building on what you already know through experiential learning with a group. If you don’t improvise already, how do you make it through your day?

Perfectly suited to vocalists, drummers, dancers, and actors, no musical instruments or previous skills are required. Your willing voice, present body, & aware ears are all that you need here! Your curiosity, fears, and humor are also welcome to join us, of course. Expert musicians will be met & gently challenged, brave beginners will be embraced & celebrated.

In this weekly series of six 2-hour workshops, Sam Rogers (AKA The One Mouth Band) and a half-dozen other expertly playful guides will take you on a fun and full-body journey through music!

Every Thursday from 7:15-9:15 we will focus on specific foundational aspects of music:
  9/22 - Sound & Awareness - Sabine Bundschu (Glen Velez, TaKeTiNa)
  9/29 - Body & Voice - Alyssa DeCaro (Body of Sound, Gamelan X)
10/6   - Rhythm - James Word (TaKeTiNa, S. Kwaku Daddy)

10/13 - Melody - Shay Nichols (Rhiannon, CIIS)
10/20 - Harmony - Pollyanna Bush (Sing For Your Life, Mirabai Ensemble)
