Reopen Phoenix
Reopen Phoenix is an open mic community dedicated to personal expression through aural arts. Attendees with hidden musical (or other auditory) talents are invited to perform and collaborate with the group. Originals, covers, sheet music--whatever it is you do--it's all good! Bring an instrument and make some noise, or just be part of the experience. Reopen Phoenix is an inviting, comfortable, friendly atmosphere to perform, collaborate, listen, and network with creative peers.
The mic is open, and you're the star.
Talents include all genres of music, spoken word, poetry, a
cappella, comedy, blues, violin, ad hoc improve: anything requiring a
microphone and ears. Skill levels range from struggling novice to
professional full-time artist. Reopen Phoenix is about creativity and expression, not perfection, so show off your hidden talent!
Reopen Phoenix is a experiment.
Open mic events occur daily in Phoenix, but are typically held in bars, restaurants and coffee shops with a "customer" audience. Reopen Phoenix, however, is about collaborating with peers in a low-pressure, friendly environment. We all have hidden talents, and want to hear yours!
Event format.
If you intend to perform something for the group, just show up ready to play. (If you have special requirements, however, please let us know beforehand.) See one of the organizers when you arrive to be put on the schedule. A "stage" and PA system will be provided. You do not need to bring your own PA system.
Individuals will be put on stage in roughly a first-come, first-served basis. If you're planning on collaborating, let us know beforehand and we'll publicize it! Time will be reserved for ad hoc creativity.
