Guitarists, pianists, cellists, vocalists, woodwind players, sax, hand drums... in short, we don't use electricity. We're professionals and closet musicians.

This is a welcoming group for musicians who want to respectfully & creatively share with and learn from other musicians.  To be heard by others. To be moved by the spirit o …

European Folk music and Cultural History with Natasha Dukach. Beyond just exploring Pan-Slavic and Eastern European music for the sheer joy of it, I also want to push the perceived boundaries of national folk music. In Russia, Ukraine, and Hungary, growing conservative political factions are attempting to use their nation’s musical heritage in a bid for a kind musical nationalism--each claiming the purity and superiority of their respective nation’s musical traditions as a way of instilling cons …

This group is about getting together to learn and practice Irish Session Tunes, and to listen to Irish Music. I find learning tunes at sessions to be impossible, and while it is enjoyable to learn and play music at home, it would be fun to get together with others to play occasionally. I started this group to see if there are others like me. To start, we are meeting once a month to play tunes at a fairly slow tempo. Because the goal is to learn tunes and to practice playing with others I'm gue …

In a Playback Theatre meetup, group members briefly share important moments from their lives (sometimes on a theme). Other members then "play back" the emotional essence of the story they just heard using movement, music, metaphor, dialogue...

All are welcome, whether you're an experienced actor or impr …

Joy Connection Freedom to be yourself Playfulness New Meaning Unselfconsciousness Insight People come to Deep Dance Light Spirit unsure of what to expect. "Do I need to know how to dance? Is it just a playlist of music that each person dances to? What kind of dancing, what kind of music?"
