Ecstatic Dance Featuring the Drum Nomads
May 16 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
Most ecstatic dance events happen to recorded music played by a DJ, which can be great. But think of how cool it can be when the music is being created live in the moment such that there is a symbiotic connection between the musicians and the dancers. The musicians raise the energy and the dancers respond in kind, inspiring the musicians to raise the energy even more! The effect can be truly electric!
The Drum Nomads know their way around a rhythm or two, but more than just being drummers, each member plays a variety melodic instruments as well, creating a wealth of sound that makes the music even more exciting.
We start off slow with gentle movement and easy going vibes. But things build up gradually in intensity, rising, falling, and rising again even higher. When we hit the blissful peak, the Drum Nomads will bring things back down for a soft landing, which then morphs into a restorative sound bath to round out the night.
This is a “conscious event”, which means people are expected to participate without the use of drugs or alcohol.
Our goal is to create a safe space for people to express themselves openly through freestyle dance and movement.
The event is geared towards adults, but younger people may attend if they are able to maintain their focus for the full 2 hours.
Cost is $20 at the door. No need to pre-register.
Doors open at 6:30pm. Opening ceremony starts at 7:00pm.
People are encouraged to arrive before the opening ceremony to settle in.
Loose clothing, water bottles and yoga mats/blankets are also recommended.
The Drum Nomads are: Bruno Giles, Bob Cronin, Dave Santospago, Sarah Huber, Jason Karol and Dave Curry
