Improv Church: The Spiritual Opportunities of Making Things Up Together

Saturday, 2:00pm | Library

In the beginning, God created. When we do likewise, intimate communion with the Creator – and also one another – is possible. In this highly-interactive gathering, worship artist Tom Ryberg hosts improvisational spaces that meet at the intersection of personal, creative expression and rich, spiritual community. Drawing on concepts from experimental music, queer theology, and comedy improv, participants will experience good, creative play together, in the form of sound, humor, art, and contemplation. Absolutely no expertise required, though a willingness to try new, weird things is definitely a plus!
