Help Peter Pan Fly!

Posted by on Mar 24 2013 | Events, Songtaneous

From our director …

“I’ve wanted to direct Peter Pan at Northeast Middle School for many years. It’s a story that so perfectly and poignantly captures the experience of this age. There is boyish and carefree Peter Pan and his exciting fantasy life in Neverland. And then there is mature, sensible, nurturing Wendy who lives very much in the real world. Just like Peter and Wendy, middle schoolers are making bittersweet choices everyday between the innocence of childhood and the opportunities that come with growing up. While the characters decide they cannot live in each other’s world, I hope that our community is reminded of the joy and magic that can spring from our imagination.”

We are a little under a month out from the show and the question on everybody’s lips has been “Will Peter Fly?”

With your help the answer can be yes.

“Part of the magic of Peter Pan for both the audience and the performers is to make Peter fly. But we need your help. Flying Peter, Wendy and the boys is beyond what we have raised for our program this year. This will cost $6,200 and we are $1500 short of the goal.”

Other Info
Sarah M. Greer has been conducting Songtaneous sessions in the Twin Cities since 2006. Songtaneous sessions are community singing events. Based on Bobby McFerrin’s “Voicestra” and Sarah’s own work with vocal artist Rhiannon, we join together to create spontaneous songs. Sarah creates and assigns vocal parts to sections of a circle of singers. The environment is a relaxed and playful.

Currently, Sarah hosts Songtaneous events one SATURDAY a the month. Aimed at music lovers who want a low-key and fun way to sing without joining a choir or committing to a lot of rehearsals, these sessions are fun, inventive and easy way to sing with others.

Singing is an important expressive, spiritual and rejuvenating activity to which many of us lose access as we get busier in our lives. Songtaneous provides opportunities to explore singing with others and playing with the voice in a supportive environment. Songtaneous is not a rehearsal or a performance – it’s about being present and in community through song.

Join us as we make music of the moment.
