OK, so the daily schedules are now posted below. Please submit any additional requests here, and I'll add them to the schedules. I will close online submissions on Wednesday morning when I leave for camp. After that, please post workshops on yellow sticky notes on the workshop charts at camp, and I will transcribe them to a printed or phone edition every night at 11 PM, and I'll post and print them sometime before breakfast - whenever I get finished.
Workshop venue descriptions from Patience:
All workshop spaces have chairs that can be moved, stacked.
Most spaces have a piano, which may or may not be properly tuned for playing.
Hollidge Hall
A carpeted room seating up to 50 in straight chairs
Acoustically isolated; good for any instrumental or singing workshop
Restrooms adjacent, just outside the back door (covered access)
[comparable to the Carpeted Room]
Sun Room
located in the Dining Hall building
Circle of couches, plus straight chairs, seating 10-12 people
Overflow option into or to the adjacent Fireplace Room if needed
Restrooms just outside (covered access)
[half the size of Ruben's living room with an expansion option]Observation from Jim Oakden: I've heard the end of the Dining Hall discussed as a workshop space. Its an excellent spot, with the caveats that it would require table moving and couldnt be used around mealtimes. It can get a little noisy during dishwashing times. The contiguous Sunroom is quite small with slouchy couches. Although there is a wall of windows between them, workshops or jams in both spots would conflict with each other. The opposite end of the dining hall is sufficiently acoustically isolated that you could probably do simultaneous things there and in the Sunroom with tolerable bleedover
Helgesson Hall
a light, spacious building with open-beamed ceiling and wood floors
Stage at one end, fireplace with couches at the other.
Good for larger workshops, dance and other
Restrooms are across the path, in the Program Office building (not roofed between)
[comparable to the Dance Hall]
Program Office/Program Center
seats 10-15 people, on padded benches against two walls, plus single chairs
restrooms are just outside (not covered access)
[larger than the Journalism Room]Caveat from Jim Oakden: The Program Center, while it can be crammed with 15 people, can't fit 15 musicians. Maybe 10 if they all played pennywhistle. If they played guitars or fiddles or such...8 or so. Its a good place for intimate old-time sessions, not so much for most other things.
Cary Lodge Lounge
seats 20 or so on couches and straight chairs
circle of seating around coffee table, area rug
woodburning stove
Suitable for singing workshops; not appropriate for loud instruments
restrooms are inside, down the hall
[the Study Center with nicer atmosphere]
Silverthorn Chapel
a comfortable space for 30 people. Hexagonal room, 26 ft. across
panoramic views of the surrounding forest
acoustically isolated: appropriate for loud instruments
suitable for small and gentle workshops (not for percussive dancing that could damage its fine wooden floor)
NOTE:
not fully accessible: unpaved path and stairs to reach it
restrooms are at a distance, at dorms down the hill
-a gem for those who can reach it (but note that there are accessibility issues)
