Poetry and Music - The Infinite - November 7th
On the first Sunday in October, in recognition of GLOBAL and National Arts Month, Jessica Irving, Autumn Brown, Ayo (Eye O), Liz, Dia Bey and Moor Love aligned artistic forces at The Infinite Yoga Studio where they kicked off the return of Suddenly.
The open-mic and arts trader event hosted by MsTmusze (Misty Muse) was well received and spiritually uplifting for the small and powerful group of women that attended. Each participated in rotating rounds of individually sharing poetry and song. There was also a moving group performance of an invigorating choral song titled Best of The Lioness. The topic of the night mirrored the illuminated heart beautifully painted on the wall which served as a welcoming backdrop for one long time writer, first time performer who felt comfortable enough to debut her poetry aloud.
Going forward, venue host MsT is anticipating these women's return and increased participation of poets, singers, vendors and art seeking audiences living in and near Long Beach.
Tips for those planning to come out are:
Early Arrival Recommended
Take Public Transportation or Carpool
Parking is in the Walmart Lot Across The Street
All Donations Benefit The Infinite Yoga Studio
Open-Mic List Opens at 5:30pm
Additionally, for those contemplating sharing their work. Know who you are. For some, writing is a very personal process that is kept to oneself. For others, those who have any inkling {no matter how small} to share their work, writing is very much about being a path through which messages are destined for those who will hear.
Suddenly is an open space.
The next event is on November 7th.
Til then and always,
Be well on your journey.
