Racer Session #531 | Melanie Sehman | June 6, 2021
On the first Sunday of every month from 5-6pm PST, the Racer Sessions (Seattle) and the FreeSessions (Missoula) unite to host a collaborative session on Zoom! A new featured artist presents a short set to begin the session, followed by a free-improv-based jam session that is open to all. Each month’s opening performer will also choose a social justice organization/cause that we will learn more about and direct donations toward for the month.
This month we are really looking forward to presenting Melanie Sehman!
“This past year for me has been an exercise in minimalism and reduction – reducing my life down to its essentials. At its most basic has been caring for people. It has also meant an opportunity to pause and reflect. But now, spring augurs growth, embellishment, curiosity, listening, learning. Let us embellish.”
— Melanie Sehman
Following Melanie's set, the organizers will facilitate an open jam session until 6pm PT for anyone who would like to improvise!
Session donations this month will be directed towards the National Women's Law Center: https://nwlc.org
Please also note that we will be taking next month (July) off, but we hope to resume sessions again in August or September! Stay tuned here and on social media for more info:
