🎵 1pm Shape Note Singing
🎵 1pm Shape Note Singing
12/01/2024 (1 week ago)
1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Shape note singing is a system originally devised to teach sight-reading and singing in harmony to folks with no musical background. From its beginnings in colonial America, it now has an international following. Non-performance singing, in four parts, for the joy of the activity alone is a beautiful example of community-based art. No experience or talent is required. We sing for one another; everyone is welcome.Our afternoon of Shape-note singing would include a brief history and description of the music and then simply singing from The Sacred Harp, the tune book most commonly used for this. We will bring loaner books.
Cost: $2/person

🎭 6pm Improv Acting
🎭 6pm Improv Acting
12/06/2024 (5 days ago)
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
No experience necessary, no memorizing lines. Easy to learn and lots of fun!
Improvisation: A performance that an actor has not practiced or planned.
The Meisner Acting Technique was developed to focus actors on their scene partners, which opens their own “instrument”. This technique gets into base-level emotion and shows us how to pull that into each scene, making each performance genuine and true. This is an ACTION class! A DOING class! It's IMPROV! Wear comfortable clothes/shoes! Bring water or other nonalcoholic beverage to drink. (We do a lot with our voices!)
Whether you’re looking to get into acting professionally, or for fun, or you feel stuck internally, this class is a must-experience! Come as often/seldom as you like - arrive by 6pm. No pressure to perform, although everyone will have multiple opportunities to give the improv exercise a go! Life is about experiences! What do you have to lose?!
Ages 18-120 (Teen class possible in the future if there's enough interest)
Cost: $2/person

🎞️ 7pm Roots of Renewal Film Screening
🎞️ 7pm Roots of Renewal Film Screening
12/07/2024 (4 days ago)
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
The new short documentary Roots of Renewal will be screened on Saturday, December 7th at 7:00pm at The Gatherings in Surry. Following the 30-minute film, there will be a Q and A with Surry resident, Florence Reed who is featured in the film.
Roots of Renewal sheds light on the critical role of smallholder farmers in sustainable agriculture and their impact on global food systems.
According to recent statistics, only a small fraction of agricultural funds, a mere 2%, are allocated to support smallholder farmers*, despite their essential contribution to feeding the world's population. The food industry is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 25% of total emissions annually**.
Roots of Renewal captures the essence of resilience and hope in the face of agricultural challenges, showcasing the untold stories of smallholder farmers around the world and shedding a light on how sustainable agriculture practices are at the cutting edge of innovation in the agricultural industry as they aim to address environmental, social, and economic challenges while ensuring long-term food security.
By prioritizing methods that have positive rather than negative impacts on the environment, conserve natural resources, and promote biodiversity, sustainable agriculture fosters resilience in the face of climate change and diminishing resources. It also could sequester billions of tons of greenhouse gasses globally.
“Food security, human dignity, and environmental sustainability shouldn't be seen as a privilege or something extra. They should be seen as the basis from which we build our society.” says Flo Reed, founder of Sustainable Harvest International
The film features insightful interviews with leading experts in the field, including Bill McKibben, Eric Toensmeier, and Vandana Shiva.
Cost: Free of charge, donations welcome.

12/18/2024 (7 days from now)
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Are you interested in building a sacred community with us through singing Earth-based and women-affirming songs and chants? If that is a YES, then here's the info you want. We meet every Wednesday evening at The Gatherings community space in Surry to sing familiar and new songs around a nature based altar from 7-8:30 p.m. Young women and girls are encouraged to join us, too, as long as they are old enough to be present in the circle.
We enjoy a scent-free and peaceful environment built on trust, kindness, and respect for ourselves, one another, and the Earth. You are welcome to join us regardless of your experience with singing for we believe everyone's voice matters and adds value!
Cost: $2/person

🎭 6pm Improv Acting
🎭 6pm Improv Acting
12/20/2024 (1 week from now)
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
No experience necessary, no memorizing lines. Easy to learn and lots of fun!
Improvisation: A performance that an actor has not practiced or planned.
The Meisner Acting Technique was developed to focus actors on their scene partners, which opens their own “instrument”. This technique gets into base-level emotion and shows us how to pull that into each scene, making each performance genuine and true. This is an ACTION class! A DOING class! It's IMPROV! Wear comfortable clothes/shoes! Bring water or other nonalcoholic beverage to drink. (We do a lot with our voices!)
Whether you’re looking to get into acting professionally, or for fun, or you feel stuck internally, this class is a must-experience! Come as often/seldom as you like - arrive by 6pm. No pressure to perform, although everyone will have multiple opportunities to give the improv exercise a go! Life is about experiences! What do you have to lose?!
Ages 18-120 (Teen class possible in the future if there's enough interest)
Cost: $2/person
