Percussion Karaoke

Curated by January Rogers

Percussion Karaoke invites you, the average everyday person, to tap into your percussive and improvisational self and jam out to some original music introduced to you by the composer and performer, Mohawk/Tuscarora multi-faceted artist January Rogers. As a willing participant, you will have the opportunity to work as a team while using traditional Haudenosaunee percussion instruments ie horn rattles, pow wow drum, hand drums and water drum to compose new percussion parts to one of three
original songs. No percussion experience necessary. Just bring your best intentions.

Sound Walk – BIG EARS (workshop)

by Cam & Athena

(1:00 - 2:00pm) BIG EARS is a craft/workshop/artistic experiment that will precede the
sound walk, where participants are invited to construct and decorate a set of
acoustic hearing amplifiers to enhance their experience of the sounds found
in the reserve.

Sound Walk – Music in the Reserve (Música de Círculo)

with Joni NehRita and Forest Musicians (Morgan Lovell, haley e sheppard, Nuha Youseuf, Caleb deGroot-Maggetti, Elysha Vorstenbosch)

(2:00 - 4:00pm) This year’s Sound Walk invites you to position yourself in relationship with
the reserve, and reflect on the stratification of human and natural spaces, as
a false dichotomy. We are a part of nature. Everything is connected.
Through the Sound Walk listen to the songs the birds, winds, trees, and
waters sing alongside the human musicians positioned throughout the
reserve, and their collective song.

Sound Walk – Underlay (Installation and accompanying performances)

by Brenda Mabel Reid

(4:00 - 5:00pm) Underlay is a large-scale outdoor modular quilt and nap performance
that explores queerness in public space. Underlay consists of 62 four-foot
hexagonal quilt blocks made out of waterproof, construction-grade materials.
The work combines aspects of quilting, architecture, and queerness in ways
that occupy and animate public space. The public is invited to nap together
under this huge quilt-building, creating a shared space for rest, joy, and
community. The nap is supported with sleep masks, earplugs, and the helpful
guidance of the Nap Captain with support of their Nap Team.
