Workshop
on Running Sound for Dances with Chris Sackett
Space is limited to eight people. Pre-registration is required.
Cost is $25. Chris teaches theatre lighting and sound design at
Southern Oregon University and has run sound for dance events. The
workshop will begin on Friday afternoon, setting up sound for the
evening dance and run periodically throughout the weekend with time
to attend other weekend events. Topics will include acoustics and
equalization as means to enhance the quality of sound for dance
and concert events. For more information or to reserve a space,
contact Chris at (541) 482-9586.
Tricky Brits
Band 'Show and Tell'
All are welcome - not just musicians. The Tricky Brits will play,
share how they work together as a band, discuss and demonstrate
the differences and similarities in playing for English country
dance and contra dance, and answer questions from musicians, dancers
and other interested folks.
Family Dance
All ages welcome. All dances will be taught. We'll have English
country, contra and related dances as well as accessible dances
and dance games for the younger ones. Bring your whole family and
enjoy the fun.
