Songfield

Songfield is a gathering space for singing rooted in relational presence. We connect through song, embodiment, and relational mindfulness practices, inviting a more conscious music making experience to deepen our aliveness as we play and create in the group field. We learn simple songs together, including folk, traditional, spiritual, chant, and we allow space for organic musical expression. We explore how becoming more present and attuned to our bodies and with one another can enhance our singing with more truthful expression, love, passion, and a fuller spectrum of our humanness. While we practice together, we also focus on the quality of connection between us, drawing closer to what matters as we cultivate and nourish the ground of relationship from which our singing arises.

Urinetown 1

Urinetown Presented By Zeitgeist Theater Co.

URINETOWN By Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis Directed by Robert Lee Musical Direction by Beth Brophy Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt…
