Jaden Chavez and Colleen Porter weave their music magic together at a park in Louisville! This edition of Music in the Moment will be part song circle, part performance, part sound healing and along with it instrumental and vocal weavings only made in the present moment through listening to the environment and each other.

Colleen @songalchemist and Jaden @the.wind.nomad will share original song and their special talents with cello, violin, voice, guitar, clarinet, Native American flute, percussion and instruments as inspired. Many songs are participatory where YOU get to become an orchestra of voices. A sound journey follows featuring Tibetan and Crystal bowls, didgeridoo and other many other high vibe instruments created to reset the nervous system. This will be a truly unique experience - Please share with friends! Better to purchase tickets online as there is a limit of 30 spots.

Flow: -vocalizing to shift energy into presence -songs shared and sung with instrumental music as inspired -transcendental sound journey

BRING a yoga mat, blanket, WATER, cushion or comfy chair if you don't enjoy sitting on the ground - for this one be generous with cushioning we will be down for a while! ( + optional non toxic bug repellent)

The exchange starts at $20, $30 suggestion... please choose your ability to support these artists as they travel and continue to share their creations and gifts in a largely unpaid profession.

From Colleen: Whether or not you consider yourself a singer, this is a safe place to explore, play, and harmonize with others, build relationship with your voice. Discover the bonding power of community singing together simple, yet powerful songs that love us through this human experience.

Look forward to more song circles and Music in the Moment! events in the area. See Colleen's "Songs for the R'evolutionist" songbook collections on this website featuring catchy tunes encouraging joy and resilience through these times.

Colleen is a music educator (ASU BMusic Ed), sound & breathwork facilitator, violinist, vocal alchemist, songwriter, and song facilitator relocating here from Sedona, AZ and seeing if this community wants more music improv, singing circles, jams and opportunities for music creation!

He/They are a part of the fabulous Galactic Harmony band based in Phoenix and blows wherever spirit and wind sail them. Online tickets online recommended for this one as there is limited space.

Leaving Musical April 12th

Mary D Fischer Theater, Sedona, AZ

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present “Leaving: The Musical Journey Out” — starring Colleen Porter — live on stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Saturday, April 12 at 7:00 p.m.

Sedona local Colleen Porter shares her one-woman musical and the journey of leaving what’s no longer aligned — from religion and relationships to environments and old paradigms.

Join her for an evening of heart expansive songs and stories as she gets ready to leave Sedona and take off on her “Unsilent Tour” featuring the musical alongside Unsilencing Workshops for women.

With songs created over her past decade of leaving the Mormon church, expect a compassion-filled evening with touching lyrics and poetry, live violin, philosophy, psychology, and moments of audience participation. Never the same twice, this musical revolutionizes the way we look at leaving — giving ourselves so much grace as our brave walks away lead us into deeper spaces of growth and alignment with ourselves. Next day on April 13th Colleen features a full day of "Unsilencing Workshops" with Voice Alchemy, empowering Song Medicine, and Vocal Reclamation for women. Exchange is $111 and includes a salad bar lunch.

$28

Priority Seat

 —  —

Herberger Theater Center, 222 E. Monroe, Phoenix, AZ 85004

Colleen created the music, lyrics and story for Priority Seat, the musical which will be playing for two weeks in early January during their Lunch Time Theatre program.

Featuring a multi-talented cast, Priority Seat is a new musical comedy where two unlikely stand-by passengers team up to attempt the impossible… arrive to their destination on time.

Colleen Porter offers a shortened version of what will become a full-length musical; one that explores familiar airport antics while finding parallels to the deeper questions of life. Who decides our priority status anyhow?
