What is the PMN Hybrid Round Robin?

PMN Members anywhere in the world may register to perform in the Hybrid Round Robin via Zoom or in Person.  The event begins promptly at 6:30pm (ET) on Friday, July 19.   The in-person component takes place at Henry Winston Unity Hall (HWUH), 235 West 23rd Street, New York, NY (Between 7th & 8th Ave.) on the 7th floor.  Doors open at 6:00pm.

Any PMN member signed up to perform in the Hybrid Round Robin who comes in person to HWUH may perform from there.  The audience will be people gathered in person, plus the audience watching from home on Zoom or the livestream.  The Hybrid Round Robin takes place on the 7th floor.   Simultaneously, we will hold a space for song sharing, group singing, and socializing late into the night on the 6th floor.

Registering for the full PMN-NYC Mid-Summer Convergence on Friday and Saturday includes Friday Dinner, which will will be provided at HWUH.   If you are only attending on Friday, we ask that you make an additional financial contribution on a sliding scale of $20-$50, which can be paid on this registration form or at the door. 

PMN Members may use the registration form on this page to sign up to share a song or a poem in the Round Robin.  It is easy to join PMN if you are not yet a member.  This event is an evening of sharing by PMN members and friends.  We especially encourage first time members to participate.  Members are invited to sign up to share one song, spoken word, storytelling, or dance piece.  There is a 5 minute time limit for each performer.  There is no set topic.  We simply ask that participating artists relate their performance to PMN's mission of using music, poetry, and other forms of cultural work as catalysts for a just and peaceful world.

How we will Shape the Performance List 

Every PMN member wishing to perform at this event is invited to register and to do so sooner than later.  Selection in the line up, however, is not first-come first-served. We give priority to new PMN members as well as PMN members who have not performed recently in one of our previous online swap events.  Since this is a special Round Robin singing event, we are welcoming in a larger number of performers than we usually do in the space of a single night.  EVERYONE keen to share is invited to please sign up!  We will intersperse in-person and zoom-only performers as best as we can. 

Technical Orientation Session: 1hr before showtime @5:30pm (ET) /  2:30pm (PT).

Performers are invited to a technical orientation session, 1 hour before showtime, where we discuss and practice how to get the best sound when doing a musical performance on Zoom.  Each performer has a chance to sing a verse of a song and then receive feedback on ways to improve the audio quality.  Artists new to Zoom are strongly encouraged to attend the tech orientation, because doing so will build your confidence in using these tools.  The audio quality that listeners hear of your live performance depends on the equipment you have and how you use it.  Check out this great resource for performers wanting to get their best audio quality when playing on Zoom.  It comes from our friends at Folk Alliance Region Midwest: https://www.farmfolk.org/zoom-performer-toolbox/
