In the fall of 2022, award-winning author and creator adrienne maree brown became The Fire Ensemble’s inaugural resident artist to develop To Feel A Thing: A Ritual of Emergence . By uplifting a resident artist each season, The Fire Ensemble provides the opportunity for choir community members to collaborate with successful generative artists and thought-leaders for 10 weeks in workshopping a new project.To Feel A Thing: A Ritual for Emergence acknowledges the spirit inside each of us that is a wild creature of Earth, along with the feelings that lead us to adapt for survival and to come together to care for our communities. This is a time when art needs to enliven and connect people to themselves and their capacity to shape the future through their own choices. To Feel A Thing: A Ritual for Emergence is a musical ritual rooted in emergent strategy, the sound and spirit of gospel, and creating more possibilities for our species by awakening our capacity to feel what is, and feel each other.
