Keith Terry and the Body Music Residency

November 1 – November 7


Body music – any music you can make with your body alone, by slapping, popping, clapping, stomping, vocalizing, scraping – you name it.  We all have what we need to make beautiful music the day we enter the world.  Arts on Earth is bringing in one of America’s foremost practitioners to teach us all how to find joy in our bodies in ways we’ve never dreamed.  Learn more. To open his residency, Keith Terry and Crosspulse are co-sponsoring the action-packed Body Music Mini-Festival on November 1!
