Registration Required

This workshop – E.M.C.E.E. (Etiquette, Musicianship, Control, Engagement, Energy) – participants will work with artist and educator Chachi Carvalho, to take a critical look at the skills and techniques needed to deliver a memorable performance. Participants will engage in an open discussion with Chachi and they will also have an opportunity to hear from the band and apply some of the techniques they learn about during the band’s soundcheck prior to their live show. Maybe a few brave attendees can jam with the band during soundcheck.

All are welcome. Minors under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration fee can be waived upon request by emailing the Roger Williams Park Conservancy.

In the event of inclement weather attendees will receive an email about rescheduling.

Details

A friendly heads up to Park-goers: Maple and Pine avenues at Cladastris Avenue are temporarily closed for approximately 4-6 weeks, limiting vehicle access to Park Avenue via FC Greene Memorial Boulevard. 

This temporary closure makes way for boardwalk construction at Cunliff Lake, a public access project that will enhance recreational opportunities at Roger Williams Park!

During this period, traffic will be detoured to park entrance and exit locations at Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue and Elmwood Avenue. Drivers using the Elmwood Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to FC Greene Memorial Boulevard to Linden Avenue to Elmwood Avenue south to Park Avenue east. Those using the Broad Street and Montgomery Avenue exit will follow Cladastris Avenue to Montgomery Avenue to Broad Street south to Warwick Avenue south to Park Avenue west.

Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain open. However, visitors are advised to follow posted signage and respect all barriers, as a crane will be active weekdays from 7AM to 3PM.
