Want to heat up February with something a little wild and crazy?!

David Ruffin and Patricia Norton team up with Rock Point Commons to offer an unusual opportunity to circlesing in a beautiful natural setting at the level of engagement that suits you.

Circlesinging might be completely new to you, or maybe you've already tried it, or heard it happening? Playful, structured, unexpected, accepted; we use internationally developed games to help layer nuggets of sounds into musical soundscapes. The kinds of sounds evolve from whatever sings in our hearts & bones: jive, funk, folk, ska, blues, Balkan, baroque -- our deep listening and trust lets us go beyond the risk of the unknown into connection and discovery.

🌳
16 spaces in the full workshop (1:00-4:30 p.m., $30-50) for skilled, confident, curious singers eager to explore the art of leading circlesong... start with techniques and designs that encourage musical discovery and learn some vocab to make it easier to talk about, then hone your skills in the larger circle. Professional development documentation is available for teachers.

🌿
24 additional spaces (3:00-4:30 p.m., $15-30) for singers of all experience levels to dive into the play of community circlesinging... no need to sing alone; bring your adventurous spirit and voice to join the circle. Guided by facilitators, you'll be able to join spontaneous co-creation of music, playful, poignant, powerful, or something else entirely!
