About servants of dance

Servant of Dance (Nata Das) ensemble that has been in Asheville for the last 12 years. We are musicians who observe, support, and hold space for the connection between dancers and musicians formed during a live dance/music event. One common thread in the music of NataDas at this point is Trey Crispin, the curator and leader of these ensembles for live performance. He has been performing live ecstatic dances for 15 years. NataDas – Servant of Dance – is a group that creates a deep moving tapestry of sound that looks to the movements of dancers as our written music. In our opinion everyone gets farther when we do these things together and not alone. Live music and movement connected are the medicine we bring to our community.

Dynamic Vinyasa Flow and Yin flows with Heather Miller

This lab will combine vinyasa flow using traditional asanas while using the breath to flow from one pose to the next, as well as dynamic movement through the major joints. We will utilize sun salutations, warrior variations, twists and joint mobility, static shaking and strengthening and pranayama techniques throughout this short lab. Then we will slow down our movements and engage and lengthen through targeted muscle groups and fascia by using Yin yoga techniques. Yin uses your breath and engaging targeted structures within the body, and opening through those structures with longer holds within poses. Vinyasa and yin combined can be a great compliment to any rigorous practice of body movement. When we increase our lengthen and flexibility, we can gain strength with ease. Please bring water and a yoga mat to enjoy a small session of invigorating and slow movements to bring yourself back to self.

About The Illusion of duality

The Illusion of Duality can be found somewhere in between the Bass & the Treble… This alchemical artist has been on a musical journey since birth to truly re-discover his sound. Born & raised on the west coast playing strings, percussion & keys, The Illusion of Duality honed his craft on the decks far before electronic music was popular in the early 2000’s. With the use of frequency embedded in a universe of rhythm he navigates between the Darkness & the Light to bridge the gap between electronic and organic. On the dance floor, his worldly sound will guide you on an ever evolving adventure of downtempo bass, medicine house and pure vibes sure to lead you “home”. Beyond the good or the evil, to a place where we are all ONE.

Explore Desire in Movement with Hailey and Cailin

What would it look like to be able to move from the truth of your Desire? To let go of what you think you want and be moved by what wants you?

In this series, get ready to explore Desire through movement and connection with others. We’ll play in exercises that have you experience Desire from different angles – feeling the magnetic pull of Desire in your body, being in the vulnerability of it with others, and actually receiving it. Or not 😉 Cailin and Hailey’s approach is as reverent as it is irreverent, breaking the mold of spiritual cliches in service to a deeper, more foundational Truth.

About DJ James Nasty

For over a decade, Baltimore, Maryland’s James Nasty has excelled as a DJ and producer well versed in Charm City’s iconichouse music sounds and curious enough to push barriers and genres to their breaking point in search of engaging crowds in the peak of sweat-drenched entertainment.

The breadth of his influences has led to him consistently playing sets so beloved that he’s been twice rewarded as “Best DJ In A Club” by the Baltimore City Paper. Globally, he’s been cosigned by Boiler Room, Mixmag, and Vice – the latter referred to him as playing “comfortable, accessible music.” A diverse set of frequently globe-traveling DJs, including A-Trak, Anna Lunoe, Nicole Moudaber, Maceo Plex, Sirius XM Shade 45’s DJ Wonder, and DJ UNIIQUE, are fond of his work.

When asked to sum up his creative goals in short, Nasty answers in a manner that highlights who he is and why he excels. “Even if it means I have to break the rules, I just want to make people feel some kind of way. I’m a DJ for the people.”

About Illusion of Duality

The Illusion of Duality can be found somewhere in between the Bass & the Treble… This alchemical artist has been on a musical journey since birth to truly re-discover his sound.

About servants of dance

Servant of Dance (Nata Das) ensemble that has been in Asheville for the last 12 years. We are musicians who observe, support, and hold space for the connection between dancers and musicians formed during a live dance/music event. One common thread in the music of NataDas at this point is Trey Crispin, the curator and leader of these ensembles for live performance. He has been performing live ecstatic dances for 15 years. NataDas – Servant of Dance – is a group that creates a deep moving tapestry of sound that looks to the movements of dancers as our written music. In our opinion everyone gets farther when we do these things together and not alone. Live music and movement connected are the medicine we bring to our community.

About Castanea

Under the alias CASTANEA, Rising Appalachia’s David Brown takes to the stage to remix and combine acoustic and electronic sound. Along with the instruments for which he’s best known – the upright bass and baritone guitar – Brown’s skills cross over to turntables and beat making, through which a lush sound emerges. The name of the project, CASTANEA, points to a tree that is slowly recovering from the brink of extinction in the eastern forests of North America.

The Movement Lab for the month of August will be led by John E Gray, aka Professor Gray Balls, encourager of play, facilitator of improv arts, and instigator of consenting connection.

This lab will focus on ways us human beings can have fun by being humans. Each week we’ll focus on a different way we can collaboratively create by getting our thinky brains out of the way and letting our subconscious drive us to playful places like Love City and Silly Town, maybe even Togethernessberg.

Vocal Toning Lab

With our vocal powers combined we create tones that align with our chakras allowing for increased oxytocin a.k.a. the “bonding hormone” helping build trust and empathy even amongst strangers. This happens in part because our brainwaves and heart rates sync through a phenomenon known as entrainment (what a cool term!). It also holds the not scientifically backed possibility of opening higher dimension timeline portals to new Earth paradise. What a bonus!

Vocal Improv to Instrumental Music Lab

We’ll be accompanying instrumental music tracks with silly jibberish vocals as an easy gateway to explore how we can get our brains out of the way to let our subconscious flow. Building towards the utilization of on-the-spot lyric creation using the tactics of storytelling, theme exploration, perhaps even therapeutically communicating with loved ones in a way you find challenging to do in their presence. This, in the communal support of letting go of ego to make whatever singing, grunting, groaning, whaling, moaning, clapping, snapping, beatboxing, rapping sounds the music and your soul call you to make. Chances are, you’ll be surprised what comes out.
