Outrunning the Devil Join Nightjar Apothecary somnambulist Brett Keyser in a two-day moving meditation on creative manipulation of habitual personal hang-ups and hindrances haunting a life in art. This workshop will be physically rigorous and full of sound explorations. (Have you ever tried to outpace a djangle of djinn?) The Devil take you if you flinch. Not for the faint of heart. Come shoeless through the snow. Wear loose silent layers. Bring water, a blanket and a book you've always wanted to read (preferably nonfiction), and maybe one of your well-worn favorites (any kind).  (Mr. Keyser prefers the kind with pictures, but admits this is just one of his personal hangnails and will not harangue you for the lack.) Oh, and if you have acquired along the way an instrument you can't play, but really, really wish you could, bring that, too.
Only 14 spots available. Hop to it. But be decided. Cancel and risk forfeiture of soul.

Sunday, March 4, 11-3pm

Matthew Earnest Workshop This workshop will dive right into the creation of new work as attendees are charged to make an original, ensemble-based performance in just TWO days!  In devising the new piece, Earnest will employ found texts and music, the unique skills and personal histories of each attendee, and a wide range of world performance vocabularies. The workshop will culminate in an invitation-based public presentation of the original, devised work at the end of the last workshop day.
24 spots available.

Sunday, March 11, 12-5pm
