À propos de l'événement
Welcome to the Soft and Low Social Night! Embracing the spirit of the eponymous play party, Probe and @Little-Girl-Blue & @Arcane_Adria are bringing you this event on the last Monday of every month. Get ready to mingle and giggle your way through a chill evening.
Join us on November 25th for a Poetry Edition/Open “No” Mic Night of this social night. There will be no microphones or amplifiers. However people can share a variety of things:
Poems
Songs (either a capella or played softly on acoustic instruments)
Short story readings
Spoken Word
Storytelling
Short stories
Humor/Comedy
Bring a poem (or something else) that inspires you that you would like to share (if you are not the author, please give appropriate credits). No participation is required, we ask that people use ASL in lieu of clapping (waving your hands in the air) for silent applause.
Why Soft and Low? Social Nights can be so much fun! And a great way to get to know the community! However, between lighting, the noise and loud talking and the wafts of perfume they can be completely overwhelming. For some people, they can even be unmanageable.
Soft and Low events aim to be events that are inclusive and more manageable for those who require a less overstimulating environment. Picture a night out with soft dimmed lighting, with a quieter atmosphere and a no scent policy. We strive to create an atmosphere that is pleasant and promotes creating bonds in a peaceful atmosphere.
All forms of socializing are welcome! Whether you want to be a social butterfly, quietly mingling all evening or if you want to be out amongst other people while you read a book quietly while listening to your jam on your headphones, this social is for you. We understand that not everyone requires the same level of socialization and all are welcome.
Whether you have Sensory Processing Disorder, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, or you just like a relaxing atmosphere, this Social Night is for you! Come and join us, explore the possibilities.
Attendees will undergo a scent assessment (sniff test) from our greeter and those who do not meet our no scent requirements will be kindly offered the opportunity to return at another time, thus ensuring a scent-free environment for the comfort of all. As this is a “no scent” event, we kindly request attendees to refrain from using scented products such as perfumes, colognes, scented lotions, and fragranced body and hair products (shampoos, conditioners, deodorants, hairsprays etc.) the day of the event or during the upcoming event. This measure ensures a comfortable environment for all participants with sensitivities or allergies.
This is a drop in event. Membership is not required. Light snacks and non alcoholic beverages are always provided. Feel free to contribute to our intergalactic cause with a donation - your support fuels our mission to explore and connect the community together.
