Remember the last time you felt truly alive? If not… it’s time.
The next Spirited Improv Series begins January 13, 2026 and you’re invited.
This is not traditional improvisation.
Imagine Spirited Improv as a spiritual practice, where creativity meets consciousness and community.
It’s part expressive arts and part heart-opening growth. Spirited Improv offers a warm, playful space to move, dance, sing, act, and experiment without judgment.
These experiences invite you to trust the unknown, shed old fears, and show up more fully as yourself.
The series culminates in a one-of-a-kind Spirited Improv Performance: a spontaneous, soul-guided experience where participants step onstage (only if they choose to) to celebrate everyone’s unique expression, including the audience members.
Past participants often describe Spirited Improv as “life-changing,” “freeing,” and “a place where I finally felt fully myself.”
You’re invited to join us for the next series beginning January 13th.

All trainings take place on Zoom. You will receive the meeting link via email after registering.
Learn more and complete the volunteer tutor application online at https://www.r2sasheville.org/reading-tutor.html
More info:
At Read 2 Succeed (R2S), we believe all children are capable, brilliant, and worthy of an education that affirms their full potential. We partner with families, schools, and volunteers to support K-5 students across Asheville and Buncombe County in becoming confident, joyful readers.
Public schools-especially those serving Black and Brown students-are under-resourced and impacted by systems that weren’t built for equity. That’s why we’re looking for community members ready to show up with consistency, humility, and respect for the hard work students are already doing to learn to read.
We’re recruiting volunteer reading tutors to commit to one student for the full school year, meeting with them twice a week during or after school. Our tutors are trained, supported, and deeply connected to a network of people committed to literacy justice and educational equity in our community.
NOTE: All volunteer reading tutors are required to complete six hours of training across three days (Wednesdays, Jan. 14th, 21st, and 28th from 6 PM – 8 PM on Zoom)

A Lecture Demonstration Series for the Curious, the New, and the Devotee
Sun, Jan 18 • 3 pm | 60 Minutes
In the 1940s, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Thelonious Monk took jazz to thrilling new heights. The tempos got faster, the harmonies bolder, and the rhythms more complex. Dancers sat down and leaned in to listen. It’s challenging. It’s beautiful. It’s music that asks you to catch up—and rewards you when you do.
Jazz Is for Everyone is a series of five one-hour sessions exploring jazz music. Come to one or join them all—each session stands on its own and welcomes listeners at any level.
What You’ll Experience:
Guided listening
Live music demonstrations
Stories that connect the music to people, places, and intent
A space for questions, curiosity, and shared discovery
Jeremy Walker launched Jazz Is for Everyone in 2004 at his Brilliant Corners Jazz Club, with Wynton Marsalis serving as Artistic Advisor. The program was developed as an Educational Affiliate with Jazz at Lincoln Center. Since then, Walker’s been writing, composing, performing, producing, and speaking about why this music still matters.

A new work that explores the unique and tragic conflicts faced by settlers of Western North Carolina during the Civil War.

Tracing a story that interweaves short stories and poetry of Ron Rash and based in part on true events, Shelton Laurel gives voice to a lesser-known but poignant chapter of Appalachian history. With music and libretto by WCU Professor Damon Sink, Shelton Laurel is a haunting meditation on loyalty, survival, and the brutal consequences of civil conflict. Get your tickets today to experience the world premier of this show.
We look forward to seeing you at Shelton Laurel: An Appalachian Opera on Saturday, January 24, 2026, at 7:30 pm. Doors will open to the performance 30 min before the show is set to start. The WCU Fine Art Museum and BAC Concessions will be open one hour prior to the show.
