If you need shoe recommendations please feel free to email mckenzie@icicle.org for recommendations and personalized suggestions.

Monthly Song Circle
2024-11-01 19:00 - 21:00 | iLa Yoga, 13 Orondo Ave, Wenatchee, WA, 98801, United States
November’s monthly song circle falls on a First Friday, so we’ve teamed up with our pals at iLa Yoga to offer singing after art-ing! Enjoy the art exhibits downtown and cap it off with a community sing along.
What is a Song Circle? Unlike many musical events where you simply listen, Shine Song Circles are an active experience. It’s not about how your voice sounds, but how it feels within. This is a safe space for self-expression, where you can let go and connect deeply with yourself and others. Be ready for movement, joy, and soul connections, all powered by our collective voices.
Alicia has been leading song circles in Leavenworth and Wenatchee since 2018, offering a diverse range of songs from diverse traditions. These gatherings are designed to be a safe, welcoming space for everyone to explore their voice, regardless of experience. Alicia’s passion lies in the healing power of collective singing, where voices unite to foster connection and self-expression. She encourages participation and new song offerings, making each circle a shared, communal experience.

2-2:30pm Artist Talk

PUNCH is super excited to be exhibiting the work of Seattle-based multi-media artist Kate Clark. Painted on glass and panel or cast in clay and aluminum, Kate’s fleshy and precise beings hearken old wisdom and dish silly jokes. In Cavity Creatures, Kate presents a suite of figurative works from the past six years that have emerged alongside the development of larger-scale public art projects. Kate’s studio practice ruminates on the constant reinterpretation that old objects and entities undergo: Paleolithic fertility figures transform into everyday gals wearing boots and hats, a she-wolf rejects her suckling burdens for a night out, and aged women laugh themselves into the center of a folk painted flower.

Much of the work on display explores Kate’s fascination with the sculptural morphing of the human female form. These explorations emerge from Kate’s personal ambivalence with her assigned gender and her deep admiration of women throughout time. Her works often resuscitate female figures found in classical art history, whether it be figurative statuary fountains or the Venus of Willendorf. Some of her paintings adapt feminized craft forms, such as the Nordic tradition of ”rose painting” or Rosemaling. Other paintings, such as her Cavity Dwellers Suite, painstakingly render in miniature the reproductive links between holes in trees and holes in bodies. Kate’s multidisciplinary works reveal moments with mythical entities who may be tucked into tree cavities or curio cabinets.
In addition to Kate’s work, our retail space will showcase Karl Schwiesow’s ceramic work. Join us for the opening on Saturday, October 5, noon until 4 pm. Come early to experience the Thorp Community Day which kicks off with a Grand Parade and scrumptious, rib-sticking community breakfast hosted by our local fire fighters at the Thorp Fire Station. Flapjacks slinging begins at 8am. Parade commences as 9:30. With the help of Blue Bear Puppet Lab and the Helen-House limousine, PUNCH plans to defend their 2023 1st place float title!

The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

What is a Shadow Cast?
A shadow cast is an ensemble of artists that act out the movie while it is playing; often times dancing and singing live.
What’s in the Prop Bag?
Part of the fun of The Rocky Horror Picture Show is the interactive nature of the movie. With our convenient prop bags, you’ve got everything you need to play along!
What is the Rocky Horror Picture Show?
On a wild and rain-swept late-November evening, somewhere at an empty stretch of road outside Ohio’s merry Denton, blissfully-affianced, prudish, boringly-innocent young pair Brad Majors (Barry Bostwick) and Janet Weiss (Susan Sarandon) find themselves stranded on their way to visit an ex-tutor. Instead, the couple will inadvertently unearth the cross-dressing Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s (Tim Curry’s) spooky lair of inexhaustible oddities, just in time to partake in the out-of-this-world mad scientist’s proud unveiling of his latest, delightfully extravagant, most daring creation: the ultimate male and the perfect sex symbol: the flaxen-haired Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood). But, little by little, as the effervescent transgressive force gobbles up whole the unsuspecting visitors of the night, Brad and Janet slowly begin to embrace the potent fascinations of seduction, while an idolized Rocky roams free in the mansion. Who can interrupt man’s union with the absolute pleasure?
