My one regret from today was not getting a picture of the group that assembled before me at 11:00 this morning at the W.O. Smith School of Music. Over 30 TN artists of all disciplines and from all over the state in one room learning about SouthernArtistry.org! The building we were in was gorgeous and provided free parking, along with the hospitable and technically savvy, Jonah Rabinowitz, who saved me from mortal embarrassment by figuring out the wireless security settings on my computer so that I could use the Internet during my workshop. For those artists reading this who did not get to attend, the presentation resources can be found here. Also, for those wanting to see what the 'freestyle poling' that I do is all about, check out Crossover Movement Arts. You can also watch a video of our founder, Blake Dalton, performing on the pole.
The workshop was followed by a visit to Kaaren Engel's studio to talk about her latest exhibition - ROAD TRIP. How could I pass that up?! In addition to seeing her work, her floor - a piece of art in itself, I was able to listen to her play "singing bowls" beautiful metal bowls used for meditation practices the world over, and also used by Kaaren for healing and relaxation workshops. A video of singing bowls and Kaaren talking about her work is coming soon! For now, take a look at her studio - what a place to work and play.
Tonight, I'm staying at the Scarritt Bennett Center - great mission, great staff, great price. There is a Labrynth here for walking meditation - yea, this is my kind of place.
