KIDS' SOUND YOGA & STORYTELLING | FREE
2023-11-08 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Ohmmmmmmm: a journey into yoga, sound healing and storytelling.

This is an in-person program.This program is intended for children ages 7 and up, and all children must be accompanied by a caregiver.

Come join Kevin Kraft, children’s author, yoga instructor, and musician, in this active exploration into yoga, sound healing, storytelling and silence. Please bring a yoga mat (or something similar) and light blanket.

During the program, Kevin will be sharing his new book: Ohmmmmmmm

Once there was a boy born into a world of silence. It’s not to say the world was silent. There was a lot of noise in this world, but he could hear none of it. Ohmmmmmm is a story about this deaf boy who starts hearing sounds through his heart. By hearing specific sounds for the first time he is opened up to the magic that surrounds him. It is a story of personal discovery, not only for those who are deaf, but for anyone looking to open up to listen to the world of mysticism that surrounds us. Ohmmmmmm is available for check out at the Deschutes Public Library and for purchase at https://store.bookbaby.com/book/ohmmmmmmm

KEVIN KRAFTKevin is the owner and founder of Soundshala, a unique mindfulness curriculum combining music, breath, movement and meditation to help achieve the mindful benefits of a sound yoga practice. This is evident in the soundscape of voice, gongs, flutes, crystal and Tibetan bowls, drums and other instruments that can help us relax and release deeply into balance. Visit Soundshala for more information.

Kevin Kraft found his way into the world of yoga by healing a severe back injury in 2004. Yoga did what so many other modalities could not and within a short period of time the injury healed. From the physical practice, Kevin became enamored by the many paths of yoga and personal awareness development. Kevin’s practice is focused on consciously accessing the inner teacher and fully coming into the resonance that all healing is accessible within.

GADAN

Gadan is a new project created by four experienced and well-known musicians in the Irish trad and European folk/rock scene. They come with years of experience touring the major European and US traditional and alternative folk music festivals.

Their high-energy repertoire has a powerful live appeal and a sound comparable to new-trad acts such as Talisk, East Pointers and WeBanjo3, but with a unique identity thanks to years of experience in several folk scenes, from Appalachian & Old Time to Scottish and Italian folk and traditional music.

Their lineup consists of two banjos – tenor & clawhammer – fiddle, mandolin, bouzouki and guitar creating an “strings-only” sound with a hint of electronics, driven by a powerful rhythmic pulse. Gadan’s performances build energy, taking audience to ecstasy with their wide spectrum of refreshing yet traditional sound.

Puppeteers for Fears

-PRESENTS –

CTHULHU: THE MUSICAL!A rock’n’roll comedy retelling of the horror classic, “The Call of Cthulhu,” performed entirely with puppets!

———————–

Detective LaGrasse is searching for a murderer. Francine Thurston’s uncle vanished. The only clue to both mysteries is a bizarre statue worshiped by a nightmarish cult. And it’s leading both of them out to sea, toward a mysterious island from their nightmares—and toward insanity. But, you know, with singing puppets.

Puppeteers for Fears, Oregon’s premier rock’n’roll puppet troupe, presents an original show that, in a sensible universe, would be impossible: a feature-length musical comedy adaptation of one of the least musical or comedic stories ever: H.P. Lovecraft’s cosmic horror classic, The Call of Cthulhu—performed entirely with puppets, and a live band.

See noir detectives, dancing tentacles, anarchist pirates, broken-hearted academics, sassy monsters, and more, as they sing and dance their way to love, madness, and possibly the end of the world.

“The most blasphemous ritual of singing and dancing since Chicago.”—SyFy Wire

“I don’t even like puppets. But that was some next-level puppet shit.”—Susan, audience member

Written By: Josh Gross.Directed by Katy Curtis and Alyssa Mathews. Starring Forest Gilpin, Alex Giorgi, Hunter Prutch, Alyssa Mathews, and Jake Raiter. Featuring live music from The Elephant.

2 Hours+ with one intermission.
