Join electronic duo 955 as they weave improvisational music in and out of rhythms, textures and unexpected sounds.

If you are ready to release some of the stress, fear and anxiety that is part of daily life, 955 will provide the audio backdrop to do so.

This is an evening of experimental sounds + movements. The musicians and dancers experience the improvised moment together. The night IS experimental music coupled with experimental movements. Can you react to the sounds using your body without the mind coming into play? Are you ready to release?

This will be a fun, challenging and healing evening of movement + sound.

The experimental/improvisational music duo 955 will be performing in Chester, CT at The Grove.

This Wednesday, June 11th at 7PM.

The Experimental Movement focus is all about reacting instantly to the sounds you are hearing without judgement. This is a great opportunity to take a deeper dive...park the ego, and release some of that tension, stress, anxiety that modern times are dishing out by the bucket-full.

You can dance, do tai chi, scream, sing, flip around the floor like a fish: whatever you feel like doing!

We are in a VERY safe container: a 40 ft yurt overlooking a lake, with brand new hardwood floors and subdued, colorful lighting.
Are you up for this challenge? We know you'd like to join us....do so!
Tickets can be found at www.thegrovect.org
