[Rescheduled to May 17th due to weather]
Join us around the fire on Saturday, May 17th, for an evening of rhythm, connection, and community at the Lake Claire Community Land Trust's next monthly drum circle. Established in 1991, this monthly tradition is the longest running drum circle in the Atlanta area.
⏰
The drum circle starts in the evening at 8:00pm and lasts until 11:00pm, in the outdoor amphitheater, with the majority of late arrivals flowing in around 8:45-9:15pm.
🪘🪇🎶
All percussion and rhythm instruments are welcomed as are all experience levels. Singers and chanters may also weave their voices into the rhythm.
🎭📃✍️
Storytellers and poets are welcomed. Short tales and verse (less than 5 minutes) may be shared if there is space between the rhythms we create together. Please avoid inappropriate and sensitive topics as this is a family friendly event and children may be present.
💃🕺
Dancers and flow artists are welcomed. Dancers may use the general area around the sand circle. Both LED and non-LED flow artists may use the area between the stage and fire pit.
🔥
Fire performers are welcomed. Fire performers must have both a spotter and fire blanket with them and must check in with the fire keeper upon arrival.
👀
As always, everyone is welcomed whether they choose to participate or watch.
