community circle

The Leslie Puryear Community Stage will host a variety of workshops, demonstrations, and performances as a platform for cross-cultural exchange throughout the weekend. Local and global communities thrive in a collective space offering intimate and collaborative experiences with a goal of expanded outlooks and enhanced understanding. Please be welcomed to join in the common conversation, and leave what you have to offer. If life is a circle, and our community is all of us, then let all of us be alive in a Community Circle.
