ENVIRONMENT INTENSIVE
June 1st & 2nd
Sat & Sun, 10:00am-2:00pm


 Course description:
 How might a stairway, a grove of trees, or a large brick wall influence artistic content and form? The Fierce Play Environment Intensive invites students to explore specific sites inside and outside, asking: What does this place convey? How might I work with the natural lines, shapes and sounds already present? Students will push their own boundaries, tuning in to the larger sensory context of the site, developing quick site-specific studies, exploring performance, story and installation art.

Transferable skills: Improvisational storytelling, listening and observational skills, visual art techniques, environmental awareness and appreciation.    (Scholarships and Work Trade available please contact us at info@raggedwing.org)

Gary Weiner
debuts his first full length album

"RELEASED AT LAST"
​
Saturday, June 8th
8:00pm

@ The Flight Deck 


A powerful vocalist, Gary reinterprets classic songs, giving them immediacy and new vitality. The album shows influences that range from doo wop to jazz and gospel, with a particular nod to Johnny Hartman, Tom Waits, Bobby Darin, Van Morrison and Bruce Springsteen.

"
Gary is a belter, with the vocal vibrancy to raise the roof or the hair on your forearms, but what distinguishes this record is a whispery intimacy as Gary takes deep dives into familiar songs to find their core – the thing that makes them timeless rather than familiar." – Howard Goodman, journalist
                                                                                             www.garyweinerarts.com/music
