Nature & Nature Magic (Thursday Afternoon, 06/15/2006)

[romanywitch]

Today's class was meeting in the park, which had been in a reminder e-mail Jenny had *handwavily* sent out.

"Drumming and dance are very powerful tools for raising energy. So today? Take your pick. Grab some instruments and make music, or dance to the music your classmates are making. I've also got some costumes and masks for those of you that feel like playing dress-up along with the rest of it."

OOC: Mod your own costumes and masks. Many different kinds of percussion instruments are available, so, again, mod your own.

Free (and legal!) music available for you to get some drumming sounds going on your own -
Daveed Korup
Turbo Tabla (Warning: Site plays music. But not tinny-sounding music, at least.)

Also, the Middle Eastern Rhythms FAQ is available for perusal.


Course syllabus and roster. for this workshop.

Wait for the OCD! OCD is up, time to play.

Blair honestly couldn't decide between drumming and dancing, and ended up banging out a fast tribal rhythm on a drum while he danced in a circle.

Willow actually liked dancing, so she started making up steps to go along with Blair's drumming.

Blair grinned and added in more bouncing, because bouncing and drumming worked well together. "You know it's possible we might call down the rain pretty soon?"

Willow did little shuffley kick steps. "Maybe we'll call the kittens back? Assuming kittens like drumming."

Lana also danced along to the sounds of Blair's drumming.

Blair grinned and pointed at the drums. "Come on Lana, grab a drum! We need more drummers!"

Lana laughed and grabbed one of the other drums.

Xander picks up a drum and starts drumming. The advantage to having a DJ as one of his best friends? Somewhere along the line, he's picked up a fairly good sense of rhythm.

Dawn slipped a long, flowing skirt on over her shorts, undid her hair from its ponytail, and began swaying and stomping to the rhythm Xander was drumming.

Xander grins and starts drumming faster.

Tim took a drum and sat leaning against a tree idly trying out different rhythms.

Bel showed up near the end of the workshop, looking for Blair.

Re: After The Workshop - Nature Magic, 6/15

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Oh look, Blair is here. "Bel?"

Re: After The Workshop - Nature Magic, 6/15

[demonbelthazor]

"I need your help," Bel growled, because that was his default tone of voice now.
