Session 1: expressing the (home) body
In this gong sound bath session, we will explore our body awareness through slow mindful movement, breathing exercises, and guided meditation. We will reflect the ways in which society dictates our bodily expressions and use somatic techniques to harness our autonomy.
Ethnobeat is University of Maryland's premier world music a cappella group. It is composed of students who perform songs from all over the world in their original languages. We share music from an assortment of cultures to promote diversity among people of different backgrounds. We hope our performance will help give a broader perspective into language and culture, as well as provide nuance to conversations about diversity.
Ricky Montgomery's music was ahead of its time—literally. Four years after the release of his debut album, and a decade after he wrote some of it, the Los Angeles native's indie-pop has been a balm in the midst of a heavy time, comforting listeners with warm melodies and relatable lyrics. It all started in July of 2020, when a pair of singles from 2016's Montgomery Ricky—the gently swaying Mr. Loverman and string-soaked stunner Line Without a Hook—took off on TikTok. "I think because we had a really traumatizing year, these songs kind of found a moment," Montgomery says.
