The Center for Creativity & Community to host Drumming Circle

 

[July 22, 2019] 

The Center for Creativity & Community will be hosting a drumming circle facilitated by Tiffany McBride on Sunday, July 28th, at 2–3:00 PM. It is free and open to the public.

A drum circle is a group of people gathered together to play percussion instruments in an informal and collaborative setting. According to McBride, the purpose is to build community, create harmony, and celebrate life through rhythm and music. It is empowering, playful, and relaxing.

People of all ages are invited to come and share their rhythmical spirit. No musical experience is necessary. Participants are encouraged to bring a drum or percussion instrument if available. And if not, a simple pan, bucket, or even two sticks make good rhythm instruments. People are also welcome to just come and listen.

McBride has been singing and beating since she was a toddler and is well versed in vocals, ukulele, drums and percussion. She is a group facilitator of drumming circles and expressive arts, and is a clinical psychologist with a private practice in Bloomington, IL.

The Center, sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Lincoln, is located at 301 Pekin Street. It opened this year with a free summer youth program for 6th to 8th graders. Its purpose is to provide a place for youth to be themselves, explore their creativity, and strengthen their connection within and with others. The program is Tuesdays thru Thursdays,12:30-5:00 PM, until August 1st. Youth are welcome to join at any time. For inquiries please email [e-mail] or call [phone].
