The Unsung Society presents The Ballad of Mrs. Claus on December 9-10 at 8p at NewNow. We all know Santa’s story, but what about Mrs. Claus? We don’t even know her first name. Where’s she from? Who’s her best friend? Why does she knit with an ax? These questions (and many more) will be answered by a collection of performers as they present original works inspired by the untold story of Mrs. Claus.

COMEDIC DANCE is a 2-hour dancey workshop facilitated by Helen Park @helen_blerk on Friday, Nov 10th from 7-9p. Free Rsvp in bio. Space is limited. $5-20 suggested donation at door. 🪩
This is a space to tap into that time when we were little kids and would move around to music, with little or no self-consciousness. We will let the music inspire movement, follow our intuition, and explore our creativity. We will be doing improvisational dancey games and exercises to a range of music, play with some props, and share some moves. It’s gonna be playful, possibly absurd, and it might look real funny and feel funny (and fun.)
Whether you’re an improviser, clown, dancer, non-dancer, or someone looking to shake off some old cobwebs, this workshop is for you. The only prerequisite is to like music.
