Experimental Songwriting

In this class we will be experimenting with writing in the moment- which (musically) means no writing at all.

Each participant will bring his or her instrument of choice- even if it's "just" their voice, and we will play with a variety of methods- everyone "passing the feather," (and we will play with this idea as well). I (Miss Chief) will "host" (teach) the class, by gentle guiding/leading...

Any ability/experience level is fine, as long as each individual maintains respect for each other. If someone is unbearably off, and our ears hurt, we may need them to take a break for a few minutes! Hopefully, you know how to play your instrument somewhat! ;)

Ideally, we would have the equipment with which to record our "sessions/"classes, and eveyone would get a copy via CD ( - though it would probably be more efficient to compile the recordings and give everyone a copy on the last day of class).

Instead of Marriage: Write Your Own Relationship Contract

INSTEAD OF MARRIAGE:
WRITE YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIP CONTRACT

Are you in an on-going interpersonal relationship?
Would your relationship benefit from clarification
of the basic implicit priniples by which it has been operating?
This EXCO seminar will be an opportunity for committed couples, triples, etc.
to discuss 28 open-ended Questions
that should be asked and answered in any on-going relationship.

These 28 basic Questions are embedded in the Internet outline
of the book we will use for this seminar:
Designer Marriage: Write Your Own Relationship Contract:
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~parkx032/RC.html

This link also allows you to read
the beginning of the default Answer to each Question.
If you allow society to answer the Questions for you,
you will have a conventional marriage.

But if you make up your own Answers,
you might create a relationship so different from conventional marriage
that you might decide not to get officially married. 

Here is the comprehensive course description:
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~parkx032/D-RC.html
This outlines the basic areas of discussion for this seminar.
Details about the book are also available,
including a buy-back option for EXCO participants.
