The Art of Togethering
/The Art of Togethering: Let’s just name it: our nerves, relationships, communities and our ecosystems are frayed. There are more together ways of being together! And as much as science has revealed about how we humans and our planet are wired and work, there is an art to being together in life-giving ways that Fabric seeks to cultivate! Join us (adults and kids too!) Sundays in July to experience and explore The Art of Togethering with different Twin Cities artists (lots of them actually!) each week.
July 3, 2022 - Art & Togethering with Joe Davis: “We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.” ~ Joe Davis. As a Minneapolis-based artist, speaker, poet and author, Joe Davis is shaping culture across the country one shared experience of honesty and joy at a time. Don’t be surprised if you make a new discovery about how it works and feels to weave life deeply with yourself, others and even that 3rd strand you might call “God.” All you and your friends have to do is show up. Joe and Fabric together will take us from there! And, we can't forget the art and togetherness of good coffee and ice cream! Plan on sharing in some local goodness from The (new!) Get Down Coffee Company and La Michoacana ice cream. EPISODE PAGE.
July 10, 2022 - The Improv of It: There is a reason one of our Fabric core values is whimsify. Don’t miss this week as Bush Fellow and local improv artist, Tane Danger (along with Brandon Boat of Danger Boat Improv) helps us see how showing up and laughing together helps us be together! Not feeling light and cheery? You aren’t alone. Burdens, baggage and doubts are part of real people finding strength and resilience in life woven deeply. Bring it. EPISODE PAGE.
July 17, 2022 - Open Mic & Minnehaha Falls Art Fair! Our community is so full of art! The park will be brimming with it this Sunday during the Minnehaha Falls Art Fair. Fabric is hosting an open mic at the bandstand as part of it all. =You might see artists you’re familiar with and neighbors you didn’t know yet - maybe it helps you see yourself as the artist you are! Art is most alive when it’s shared! EPISODE PAGE
July 24, 2022 - Togethering Through Hard Things with Lindsay Walz Resilience and beauty can come from some places we would never choose to go. For artist Lindsay Walz a place like that was the collapsing 35W bridge she was driving on in 2007. She was a first-hand witness of how shared disasters can bring us together. But how do we stay together? It's an important question to which there are no easy answers. Join us as Lindsay helps us (kids and grown ups alike!) explore the art and practice of bravely togethering through hard things; and the gifts that have surprised her on the other side. EPISODE PAGE
Courage isn't something that comes at the end of a checklist. It's the result of daily, moment-by-moment decisions - many of which are full of fear. - Lindsay Walz
July 31, 2022 - That Beat! You’ve likely had conversations this week that worked and others that didn’t go so well. According to local choreographers, teachers and tap duo Anna Esposito and Drew Geck, tap dancing is and has always been a conversation. Their feet (and maybe yours!) will do a lot of the talking to help us show up with a little more grace, perspective and joy for the everyday dance of conversations that are bigger than just you or me. Join us! No tap shoes required. EPISODE PAGE
