Kumi Maxson is facilitating weekly collective improvisation workshop spaces, every Monday* from March 27 to May 29 from 6-8pm. The workshops will consist of a short reading and listening session, followed by discussions of the liberatory political implications of musical improvisation. The workshops will cater to all levels of improvisational and musical experience (including none!), striving to create an accessible space for non-hierarchical participation and experimentation. Musicians are encouraged to bring their own instruments, however some will be provided for those who do not have their own.

Seven Cups Echo is a participatory installation and performance by Emma Palm, Marc Merza, and Julian Stein that explores sound in the context of an intimate tea ceremony. Through the ritual, process, and movements of a tea tasting, the artists will manipulate and alter the soundscape. Participants are invited to drink tea, in which their involvement contributes to the co-creation of an evolving sound environment, scored by the very act of what it takes to make and drink a cup of tea.

Desert Magic will be performing "The Valley Spirit," a new song cycle that primarily uses Ursula Le Guin's version of the Tao Te Ching as text.
