GET A GLIMPSE INTO THE (PARTICIPATING) ARTISTS STUDIO!

A short dance film of rage and resistance. Cat Rider and zap mcconnell (cazap), the co-directors, are inviting the general public to a free screening and chat 7:00pm - 8:30pm at Visible Records.

Devouring Stones Up Close was made with a tiny but mighty team shortly after Roe v Wade was overturned in 2022. It was completed in September 2023. Imbued with movement, this dance film serves as a visually poetic abstract expression of personal and shared rage, artistic harvesting, and channeling the spirit of those whose land we walk, create and dance on.

After a successful year in the film festival circuit, she is ready to be released to the world. Come join us to celebrate this art, and join together through a gentle nourishing resistance gathering to bolster us for the years ahead.

7:00 pm: post inauguration detox with tea and snacks (bring your own tea cup/mug)

7:30 pm: film begins

7:45 pm: chat (directors will be present)

MIMA COLLABORATIVE SONGWRITING WORKSHOP AND TEACHING ARTIST TRAINING

Participants of the upcoming workshop will experience the MIMA Method and learn the basic principles of delivering the Method in MIMA classrooms. As such, the workshop is primarily intended for those interested in working as paid MIMA Teaching Artists. It may also be of interest to educators in the arts looking to expand their pedagogical repertoire and musicians interested in learning new approaches to collaborative songwriting. For everyone, we promise an engaging musical experience and the opportunity to meet like-minded creatives.

The half-day workshop will be led by veteran MIMA Teaching Artists. Over the course of the training, participants will produce and perform an original composition using the MIMA Method. Trainees will reflect on the songwriting process and engage in a discussion of the pedagogical principles of the MIMA Method and the various challenges they are likely to face applying the Method in the classroom. After completing the workshop, participants will receive preliminary certification as MIMA Teaching Artists, the primary requirement to work in the MIMA classroom.

The training is free to attend for selected applicants but space is limited.
