VOCAL PLAYGROUND will be a 6-week session of Free Range Singing with a playful twist: Vocal River improv techniques will have you improvising with fun and freedom at your own pace. Song games will bring in laughter and play, and lighthearted songs will keep your mood bright as the days begin to shorten. Open to all voices, drop-ins welcome. Tuesdays 7-8:30pm Sept 3-Oct. 15 (No Class Sept 17) at UU Church of Davis.

The Free Range Singers teamed up with Conspiring Women (Doreen Conte, Lorraine Visher, Liz Merry, Cam Stoufer, Betsy Taloff and me, Laura Sandage) to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday in a community of voices. Performers sang their hearts out, shared stories, and spread flowers. $2,630 were raised to support STEAC. The UU Church of Davis was host and sponsor. Supported in part by the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs Program.

On April 13, 14, & 15 group of local tree lovers gathered for a unique interactive performance/art installation in the Aspen greenbelt. All ages were in attendance at this event full of songs, stories, and gentle ritual to honor and learn from our community trees. The eight women performers carried on in all kinds of weather. The event was supported in part by the City of Davis Arts & Cultural Affairs Program.
