Led by Isabel Shaida, the Six Viewpoints Workshops at Tinworks Art are free, public programs inspired by Montana-based artist Mary Overlie (1946-2020) and her creation of Six Viewpoints for understanding body and relationship to space. Six Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation and observation between the participant and the outside world that deconstructs performance into six studies: space, shape, time, emotion, movement and story. The participant becomes the artist. July 14th, 21st and 28th and August 4th, 18th and 25th.

Baroque Music Montana (BaMM) presents a one-hour concert program "Lands of the Free: Languages of Improvisation." This program spotlights the transient, composer-as-performer elements which define music of the 17th century, while exploring ties with their native European languages. Musicians might improvise over a repeated chord progression, add ornaments and cadenzas to embellish written notes, or 'realize' a bass line through improvised rhythmic patterns and chord choices, all based on the musical code of baroque style to dazzling expressive effect.
This program is curated by violinist and composer Manami Mizumoto, who is equally at home on the baroque violin, electric violin, and as composer, having grown up in the experimental environment of New York City. The other musicians include The Juilliard School's baroque cello teacher, Phoebe Carrai, as well as BaMM regulars lutenist John Lenti and baroque violinist Carrie Krause. The repertoire is a representative tour of 17th century European musical centers, with works by Pachelbel, Corelli, Matteis, Monteclair, Kerrl, Ortiz, and Isabella Leonarda.
This concert on August 14th at 6:30pm will be held in the charming Ringling Church, in Ringling Montana, a short drive from Bozeman. Admission is free, donations gladly accepted.
