WHEATSCOUTS: Lavender Cloud – April 10

Lavender Cloud will take you on an imaginative, musical journey full of feet stompin’ fiddle tunes, anthropomorphic animal sing-a-longs, and repeat-after-me camp songs! Join Justin and Rachael for lots of dancing, singing and playing along!

The Rhythm Stage performers include: Barb Pitcher, Brenda Huckins Bonter, Beth Keloneva - "Wonderful World of Frame Drums"; Carolyn Koebel and Jonathan Wegner of Michigan Hiryu Daiko - "Music of the Taiko Drums"; Kevin Jones teaches "Ganza" (music for a rite of passage); Josh Dunigan - Musical Moments in Your Home!; Sundance DiDominico

Nic Gareiss - Tunes in your Feet - square

This hands-on (feet-on!) workshop for all ages will introduce you to some of these gestures that you can use to make music with your feet. Drawing from clog and step dance styles from Ireland, Scotland, England, Canada, and Appalachia, Nic Gareiss will share the building blocks of many of these movement traditions.

Letter from the Executive Director & Board - changes to programming for 2021. "As we move forward to 2021, our priority remains the same - to do what is best for the safety and well being of our staff, volunteers, performers and community members. At the Board of Directors meeting on October 13, 2020, the board voted to cancel the following 2021 in-person and virtual events; Winter Wheat, Traditional Arts Weekend and Summer Wheat Music Camp. Instead, we will be focusing our time and resources on holding a 2021 festival; in whatever form it might be."
