A night of dance, song, prayer, and activation through the senses. A trio of feminine musical powerhouses come together to create a space of ignition as we enter the Spring portal. Using live & electronic original music, the dance floor is invited to come alive; through the ceremony of sharing cacao, hearts are invited to open. The time is ripe for collective activation, and music is one of the most potent tools we have to access this enlivening. Throughout the night, music will be the guide through a personal and communal journey to come into our bliss and prepare for this year’s Spring Awakening.
About the artists:
Heather Christie
https://www.heathercsongs.com
Heather Christie is best known for her sultry sound and electric vocal presence. Influenced by powerhouse singer Grace Potter and modern alt-pop artists BANKS and FKA Twigs, Heather's music has an R&B swing with a soulful overtone. A singer/songwriter and producer out of Los Angeles, Heather studied jazz, classical, and musical theatre as a child before embarking upon a journey to uncover her authentic voice. She is known for her song 'Tincture' (of her project Feral Fauna), which gained worldwide traction on Spotify, in addition to her brief stint on American Idol. Heather is a modern dancer, and brings her physicality onstage into a dynamic visual performance. Joined by multi-instrumentalist Vir McCoy, they bridge genres in their own feel-good way. Both danceable and reflective, their sound carries through a melange of moods. Heather is a Jumpsuit Records artist (The Polish Ambassador’s Record label, and released her 6th studio album, entitled 'Stars That Fall’, in the fall of 2018.
Arula
https://www.arulamusic.com
Haunting vocals amid sensual beats, Arula spans genres without conforming creating a cohesive yet dynamic spectrum of sound. Her music is a rich interplay of her many influences; flourishes of sultry vocals and downtempo melodies take and hold shape as they blend with world music rhythms and become ancestral & grounded while dancing over trap & hip-hop beats.
Arula (Chelsea Kirby) has been singing and composing songs since childhood. Music and dance have been central themes in her life; of all her gurus they are the most revered teachers. She views sound and movement as sacred expressions of a universal language; a language that connects, empowers, and unites people from all backgrounds.
