Ecstatic Dance at Essence w Stephen Katz

Ready to press reset? Join us for a special New Year's dance at Essence. We will celebrate community, connection and new beginnings with the "Super Gentle Cello-Centric Auditory Amazing-ness of Stephen Katz! The first hour of the dance will be a time for embodied introspection and intention setting. A "Cello Temple" space where dancing, lounging, listening and writing are all encouraged. Trailblazing cellist and award-winning composer Stephen Katz has charted new territory for the rhythmic potential of the cello with the groundbreaking approach he calls Flying Pizzicato. The results are compositions and improvisations that juggle two or more voices at a time, making music that lays grooves, weaves tunes, and lifts spirits.
