& Friends
If you are a Christmas Performer in Kentucky
or any of our neighboring states,
we invite you to join us
We meet socially in January, March, May, & July for lunch meetings. These are usually in the Louisville area, but we do try to get to other parts of ther state for these meetings as well. In Spetember we hold our annual Gathering for a weekend of training (to prepare for the upcoming season), storytelling sessions, and socializing at General Butler State Resort Park. The other months we have various training sessions. Most are free, but we also try to bring in a professional instructor for more serious training,
Our group has a Facebook Page to keep our members up to date and also do emails when something important needs to be shared.
We do not charge any membership fees.

Coaching and Content Building
Going beyond our Fundamentals and our Advanced skills, our third course approaches our community needs from two specific directions. First, we need that deep-dive for personal skill tune-up and regular maintenance. It is critical that our community learns how to coach one another. Second, building a repertoire of content that you can use for your programs and performances can be a life-long pursuit. But start here to gain skills in creating your own personalized material that fits our communal brand, our audience’s dreams, and your personal strengths and joys. (Pre-Requisite: Performing Fundamentals Strongly Recommended.) Check out these key topics in this workshop.
Quick review of Fundamentals: How to do a Tune Up with each other
How to do a Performers Inventory / The Needs-based Performer
Matching and Mapping: How to tune your goals to your skill set
Coaching 101
Santa Jedi Techniques (The Art of Subliminal Engagement)
Microphones and Sound Systems
Syncing with Partners/Duo Exercises
Networking and Resourcing
The Mentor / Mentee Relationship
and so much more!
