Welcome to One-Day Choir!My name is Mckye and together with Good + Plenty Arts Collective we'd love you to join our choir for the night. We're going to be learning Good Luck, Babe by Chappell Roan arranged by Kenter Davies xo - it slaps, prepare yourself. Be ready to laugh, cry (if you want), create and have all the fun. No audition, no judgement - we just want to sing together in harmony. You in? Here's a link to the arrangement we'll be singing:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vplEbXjMM8 What's a One-Day Choir? For one evening we get together and learn/sing a song in harmony! All are welcome whether you're a choir veteran or have never sung in a group before. This is our first ODC and we'll be meeting in the Event Space on the second floor at The Forks. Order of Events: Warmups and singing games to get everyone a bit more comfy together and ready to singBreaking down the song and parts section by sectionGoing through the emotions and lyrics throughout the songAdd some dynamics and YEAH OK THAT SOUNDS AMAZING momentsSing and record some video for us to have for ourselves and to shareLearning the Music Sheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be sent in your confirmation email, to accommodate multiple ways of learning. (if you don't receive the link to a google folder get in touch and I'll re-send) These resources will be included in your order confirmation. The intention is for us to come into the gathering having already familiarized ourselves with the parts, (you can choose any part you like)so that we can spend our time together really diving into the music rather than simply teaching parts one by one. I can't stress this enough, you don't have to memorize sh*t. You can learn everything on the night if you want. However, there're more space to work on dynamics and explore creatively when folks know their parts a bit before hand. We leave this up to you :) We're here to support you, our intention is for this to be a fun and welcoming environment for all to explore their authentic voice.

NAfro Dance is pleased to present 'Serengeti', a provocative and exciting dance piece. Choreographer Casimiro Nhussi, challenges the audience to DO SOMETHING about environmental issues facing all living creatures. I’m living in a sad and terrifying nightmare. Somehow, every time I try to wake, the nightmare is still there. I see the land of my birth – Africa - and everything has changed. The land is red and dry, the rivers too, the trees are naked, and the animals are skinny and sad. There isn’t enough green land for all of us. There is a struggle between the natural, wild world and the domestic, structured world. Between them and us. Some of the animals are dying out. Some of the animals are trapped in cages and exported to places unknown. They are crying for a green land and for their freedom. But for us who go to see the animals in their cages, the cry for freedom, has become a sound of pleasure, a sound of amusement. This nightmare has to stop. Because I don’t think it is only my nightmare, I think it is humankind’s nightmare. We need to wake up and do something about it. We have to learn to live together to co-exist. -CN- IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Come early so you can find parking. Box Office opens one hour before the event starts if you prefer to purchase tickets at the door (some will always be available). Seating in the theatre starts 20 minites before the show begins.
