Mew~sic Night; Kevin Kihara on the steel Halo
Friday December 1st, 2017 8:30 PM until 08:00 PM
Location: The Dancing Cat (408) 459-9644
The Dancing Cat, 702 E Julian Street San Jose CA 95112

Greet the holiday season with a very special concert; join the resident felines of The Dancing Cat, and be enchanted by artist Kevin Kihara performing a ‘sound sculpture’ on the Halo. This modern musical invention, a sister instrument to the Swiss Hang, is a steel handpan, whose play marries rhythm, melody, and harmony in a single flow. Rich in timbre and very expressive, handpans are made for free improvisation and meditative exploration.  Plan a memorable date night or come solo and meet new friends (two-legged and four-legged), and immerse yourself in an evening of captivating sound.

Contribution: $30 (includes time with the cats!).  There are 12 seats available for this musical journey

About the artist:  Kevin Kihara spent eight years caring for his father, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's. To cope with his father’s passing, Kevin learned how to play the Halo — an instrumental-cousin of a steelpan, which has a gentle, hypnotic sound. He began performing in public spaces in Berkeley to quiet his own mind, and found his playing was able to ease stress in others as well. Now Kevin plays from his soul to inspire our collective compassion within ourselves and the world.

Community Cat Care Workshop

Location: The Dancing Cat (408) 459-9644
The Dancing Cat, 702 E Julian Street San Jose CA 95112

Kitten season is approaching and it's time to take a look around your neighborhood. Do you notice cats in your area that don’t seem to have a home? Have you found a litter of kittens and wondered whom to call? Join community cat experts Teri Monbureau and Christine Hernandez for a free workshop introducing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), feral cat management practices, local resources for feral cat spay/neuter, and proper use of humane traps. This workshop will offer the knowledge and skills needed to help feral kittens and stray cats in your community.

This workshop is free; donations are always appreciated and all funds go directly toward The Dancing Cat's mission of connecting loving, wonderful adult cats with their forever homes. All ages welcome!

About the Presenters:

Christine started her cat career in 2010 at the San Jose Animal Shelter, socializing special needs, anxious, and shy cats & kittens. Feeling she needed to do more to help prevent so many cats from entering the shelter, she immersed herself in TNR. To date, Christine has helped make sure that over 500 cats will not have unwanted, over-populating litters of kittens through her trapping efforts. In addition to her TNR work, Christine cares for 5 community cat colonies.

Teri got involved with cat rescue in 2014 volunteering for feral colony care with 13th Street Cats, a San Jose local rescue organization. A few weeks of care and feeding of several managed colonies made her aware of the pronounced need for additional trappers to spay/neuter newly arrived community cats as well as to get sick or injured colony members to a vet for treatment. She attended a TNR training session, watched YouTube videos on trapping cats, and has been a proponent of it ever since!
