Yo! It’s 23 Skidoo’s Birthday Extravaganza

It’s been a great honor teaching the kids of AVL to express themselves on the page and on the stage for the last couple months. THE IMAGINARIUM had its 4th and final session of this run yesterday, and it was incredible! Seventeen kids ranging from 6 to 20 years old wrote and rocked their own original pieces. Guiding them through the process of finding words they love, putting those together into bars and stories, learning mic control and stage presence, and finally overcoming their fear to speak loud and proud to the crowd was humbling and magnificent!!

This Sunday, I’ll be putting on a show where not only will the 23 Skidoo Crew, complete with a couple of mindblowing dancers and the brilliant puppetry of TOYBOX THEATRE, make the stage into an intergalactic portal to a dimension of hope, laughter, and beats, but all the newly minted IMAGINARIALISTS who want to participate will show off their chops as well!

It also happens to be my birthday, so I figured I’d lean into it. See yall at the show! Thanks AVLiens!!

Family Folk Dance

3rd Sundays of each month Sept-May

Welcome to the Asheville Area Family Folk Dance! Come enjoy a tradition of community dance and live music handed down from generation to generation! A dance leader will teach each dance in a way anyone can understand, and the live open band will have your toes tapping no matter what! These simple dances are a good intro for adults and children to traditional social dance such as contra, squares, circles, play-party games, and other formations. We will draw from the American folk tradition as well as a few international favorites. Expect an atmosphere of laughter, encouragement, and connection!

All ages are welcome, no experience necessary. Children must be accompanied by an adult, but adults need not be accompanied by a child.

More details and tips:
  • Admission is free; donations appreciated but not expected. This event is sponsored by the Old Farmer’s Ball and is run by volunteers.
