  • Fall Faculty Forum: Music Department - Performing Community Building

    This workshop will introduce us to principles of community building through basic musical activities and body movements. As a group, we will learn musical and dance parts through imitation, cooperation, and interdependence. Our bodies will serve as our primary musical instruments, but workshop organizers will provide simple percussion instruments. Participants are welcome to bring their own percussion. Our primary goal is to hone our abilities to build strong alliances and communities. Background in musical and/or dance performance is not required, but willingness to collaborate is necessary.

    FFW: Open House at The Knoll

    The Knoll, Middlebury College’s garden and mindfulness space, is a three-acre plot with vegetables, fruits, and flowers stewarded by Middlebury students. The Knoll serves as an inclusive space that supports students’ holistic development in an environment that promotes discourse about world food issues. While growing rows of tomatoes for Atwater Dining Hall or visiting Vermont farms, students come to understand some of the challenges associated with food production, and explore locally- and organically-based solutions. The farm is located in the field behind McCardell Bicentennial Hall.
