Rhythm of Life: Percussion

This year’s series will offer multiple forms of adventure and a chance to help create our end-of-summer “Creation” window installation. The theme of the summer series is The Rhythm of Life.

The series begins on June 10 event with a poetry workshop. Led by three local published poets–Angier Brock, Emily Pease, and Beth Williams–this workshop is open to all. No previous experience necessary, just a love for words and for life. By the end of the workshop, participants will have created one or more collaborative poems, which will be featured in the window display and will drive the creative process for the next two events.

In July, we are joined by the talented Ricky Micou, a professor of percussion at NSU. His travels around the world during his time in the Navy inform his open, energetic spirit and his love of teaching. If you can bang your hand on the table, you can make a rhythm! The July event will culminate in a collaborative group recording that will be edited into a soundtrack for the window.

August means art! Creative guru Ben Blanchard will bring us together to construct the art for the window. Wherever Ben is, fun and discovery are not far behind…

We are all part of The Rhythm of Life. Bring your heart and spirit and imagination to Good Shepherd this summer and be part of this year’s Food for Body & Soul series. We look forward to seeing you there.
