The BUS aRound About Series
Mondays at the RCR starting April 13 • 6:30 PM
What is an aRound About?
aRound Abouts aren’t classes or performances — they’re shared creative playgrounds built around collaboration, curiosity, and connection.
Each session is made up of simple, guided rounds built around:
vocals, rhythm, instruments, and collaborative song-building
drawing, visual prompts, and creative exploration
movement, character, and storytelling
Sessions are designed so you can jump in however you feel comfortable — observe, participate, or dive deeper as you go.
Typical sessions:
- 60–90 minutes
- Small groups (10–20 people)
- Drop-in friendly
Many aRound Abouts naturally lead into workshops, labs, and productions — offering pathways for those who want to explore further.
What to Expect
Each session is a mix of simple, guided creative rounds designed to be:
- low pressure
- beginner-friendly
- social and interactive
- different every time
You might find yourself:
- adding a rhythm to a group groove
- trying a quick improv moment
- contributing to a collaborative drawing
- helping shape a song or story
Or just enjoying the experience from the outside.
How it Works
You can:
- Watch – take it in and get a feel for the room
- Try – jump into a round when you’re ready
- Join – collaborate with others in the moment
- Create – take the lead or contribute ideas
You can move between these at any time.
Session Flow
Most sessions follow a simple arc:
- Arrival & orientation
- Warm-up rounds
- 3–4 rotating creative rounds
- Optional freeplay or share moment
- Light closing
Typical Session
- 60–90 minutes
- Small groups (10–20 people)
- Drop-in friendly
The Space
aRound Abouts are set up to support different comfort levels:
- an outer space to observe and take it in
- an inner circle for active participation
- flexible movement between both
You can step in and out at any time.
Where It Can Lead
For many people, aRound Abouts are just a fun, creative experience.
For others, they’re the starting point for something more.
aRound Abouts often connect to:
- Try It! Workshops — learn specific skills
- Make It! Labs — create projects
- Jamprov & Events — take the stage
You can stay casual — or go further.
