Around the World in Song and Dance – Lillie Feierabend
Humor, love, kindness and joy are universal. Community music making builds a bridge where we are offered a window into another culture and delighted to find ourselves looking back. A country’s musical culture can also offer insight into their history, spirit, and heart. This understanding can lead to greater awareness and global understanding. This lively workshop will explore 12 cultures through their folk dance, rounds, passing games, play parties, clapping games, and singing games. Join us as we meet wonderful people through the gift of their music. The world just might become a kinder, more tolerant place if we all held hands anddanced, clapped, and sang.
