The Workshop: Open to all styles and
levels, this weekend workshop integrates and combines both drumming and dancing for an experience that develops rhythm in both the mind and body.
Half the time will be spent learning in a drum circle format with Granville Johnson focusing on effective stroke technique, improvisation, story and melody in rhythm. The other part of the day will be spent exploring various forms of dance with
the essence taken from the Nia Technique with Lisa Cassidy. Nia is a combination of elements taken from the Martial Arts, Dance Arts and Healing
Arts working with movements taken from Modern, Jazz, Duncan Dance and Ethnic Dance allowing you to move the way your body was meant to move. Wear
comfortable clothes and bring along your hand drum if you have one.

The Workshop: This course
teaches the fundamentals of basket making but I can make it challenging enough for an intermediate level. Students will learn which garden plants are
suitable for basket making, when to gather them, how to store them as well as how to process them for basket making. The gathering, storage and
processing of cattails, bulrushes, grasses, willow, larch and other such materials will be explored. Students will be able to use
at least 4 of these materials in their vessels (depending on availability. I gather most of the materials myself and each year the yields a different
harvest). We will use flat or round reed to construct the base and skeleton of the vessels, participants will explore how the different materials can
effect the outcome of their finished vessel. Students will learn at least two base constructions, twinning , three and four rod wale as well as two
rim treatments.Participants will work at their own pace, emphasis will be on individual and personal creativity not perfection making this a fun non
threatening environment full of fun and laughter class.
