Intro to DJ-ing Workshop & Jam Sesh
Saturday June 27th @ 12:00 - 3:00 PM
-
Join (Re)Birth Society and Miyagi Records for an interactive Intro to DJ Workshop & Jam Session! In this beginner-level session, participants will be introduced to the art of vinyl and digital DJ-ing, working hands-on with gear and equipment while learning the fundamentals of the craft and culture of DJ-ing! Following the lesson, we will curate an experimental musical-movement experience, during which participants will be encouraged to test their new skills by playing prompt-inspired selections for their classmates to move, groove and vibe to. These prompts are designed to inspire creativity, reflection, and collective visioning, as we foster connection and expression through music and movement.
Bring your favorite records, tapes, cds, etc :)
