◊ Open Music Circle

 The Open Music Circle is a gathering place for acoustic improv musicians, vocalists, and also dancers. We have been meeting regularly since 2004 on the second and fourth Sunday, from 8 to 10 PM, at the New York Insight Meditation Center, 28 West 27th Street, 10th Floor. All acoustic musicians, vocalists, and dancers are welcome to attend. We have no musical or other agenda and no director. Each gathering is an exploration and an adventure. We start in silence, someone begins, then paying attention to each other, we each vocalize or move accordingly, and finally we end with silence. Now and then we may try exercises to improve our skills. Dancers and musicians interact with and respond freely to each other. Some participants have discovered useful things about themselves or their playing, singing, or dancing at a Circle and others have found their experience to be similar to a spiritual practice. We usually have fun, and occasionally something miraculous happens.
