LoomSong! Vocal Workshop, Performance and Jam

This dance will be held in the forest behind Earthdance. We will meet at the Earthdance farmhouse, then group hike about 10 minutes through the forest to an all natural dance floor.

Once we arrive, we’ll begin with a grounding meditation to attune ourselves to the rhythms of nature and the mycelial web beneath us. From there, we’ll flow into a music journey with the forest. We’ll dance around the grand oak tree, surrounded by hemlock, birch, and pine.

This is a rain or shine event ~ come prepared to dance with the elements!

Description

Loom Ensemble has brought Dance Music and Theater workshops and performances to Earthdance since 2017. This year we are thrilled to welcome LoomSong! Loom Ensemble’s newest project has been slow cooking for a decade – LoomSong is a fresh constellation of longtime collaborators, and a new approach to songs which have been in development for years.

Sasha, Onome and Raffles are LoomSong–a vocal trio exploring the boundaries of the human voice and the intersections between composition and improvisation. Their current repertoire consists of compositions by its members, new improvisational structures, and original arrangements of folk, jazz, classical and world music.

Most recently at Earthdance, Raffles co-facilitated a Winter Jam, Onome co-facilitated last summer’s EarthSing, and Sasha was here with “Tell Me How You Breathe” (and offered music at the ABCD Jam in Montague).
