Open Music Circle
WHAT: All movers and shakers are cordially invited to dance to the sounds of the acoustic improv musicians at the Open Music Circle, now six years old! There is no structured agenda and no director. The musicians sit in a circle or semi-circle and start with silence. Then someone begins to play or sing or move. Then we watch, listen to each other and, when we want, begin to play, vocalize or move accordingly, and so it goes. Finally we end the evening with silence.
WHERE: In Brooklyn, we meet at the Circle Space, 485 Ocean Avenue; in Manhattan, we meet at the New York Insight Meditation Center, 28 West 27th St.
WHEN: Sunday nights: on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month, we meet in Brooklyn from 7 - 9 PM; on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of each month in Manhattan from 8:15 – 10 PM..
