Brazilian Zouk Mondays - Foundations and ADV. Basics/ Intermediate Classes @ The Hut

Explore Brazilian Zouk at The Hut with a program that highlights the dance’s fluid movement and strong partner connection. The schedule features a foundations class for newcomers and anyone building their basics, an Advanced Basics and Intermediate session for those with some experience, and time set aside for practice. The foundations portion covers the ABCs of Brazilian Zouk Lambada, including core steps and timing, techniques for leading and following, body movement and flow, and ways to interpret the music. The Advanced Basics and Intermediate class is open to attend, yet it is designed for dancers with roughly two to four months of consistent classes and may not suit every level. Expect benefits such as improved coordination and rhythm, stronger social dancing skills, greater confidence on the floor, and a welcoming atmosphere to meet others. Participants may come with a partner or on their own, and comfortable clothing is recommended. Cost options include a $15 drop in or a $40 per month unlimited membership.

Yebba

Yebba brings the Jean Tour to Meow Wolf Santa Fe, spotlighting a powerhouse voice shaped by church roots in West Memphis and a path that quickly led to collaborations with Ed Sheeran, PJ Morton, Drake, A$AP Rocky, and Mark Ronson. Her first album, Dawn, channeled loss into deeply felt songs. The follow-up, Jean, named for her late grandmother, broadens her sound while exploring love, anger, and healing, all anchored in the gospel-informed honesty that set her apart. Written over five years across Arkansas, Dallas, and New York, it marks a chapter of creative freedom and self-reclamation. This is an all-ages show with standing room only. Tickets are $30 plus fees in advance or $35 plus fees on the day of the show.

Founded in 1985 as a cheeky answer to music-industry excess, the group first appeared in black tie with intimate performances in snug rooms over old pubs. They continue to charm with sharp humor and artistry, creating a surprisingly full sound using only ukuleles and an array of voices, with no drums, pianos, guitars, banjos, or backing tracks, and no electronic pitch effects. Expect a lively tour across musical styles where ABBA meets ZZ Top, Tchaikovsky brushes up against Nirvana, and bluegrass sits alongside Broadway, all interpreted on the instrument often nicknamed the bonsai guitar. Tickets range from $43 to $69. For online ticketing sales and support, contact the Lensic box office at 505-988-1234. In-person purchases are available at the Lensic box office. Seating is available.

Each week its five board members craft and revise policies with the goal of preserving an inclusive culture through unanimous agreement. When a mumps outbreak imperils the community, certainty fractures and every proposal sparks disagreement, forcing the school’s leaders to face a timely question... how do you achieve consensus when people cannot agree on what is true? This production is directed by Robert Benedetti and stage managed by Allison Goetzman. The cast features Brent Black as Don, Leslie Dillen as Suzanne, Jenny Kim Eaves as Meiko, Danielle Louise Reddick as Carina, and Jonah Scott Mendelsohn as Eli.

Udall Building

Nick Veasey: Opening Reception

Sorrel Sky Gallery hosts an opening reception celebrating Nick Veasey, known for crafting images with x-ray technology that uncover the inner workings of everyday objects and elements from nature. Using radiographic tools, he turns the familiar into the unexpected, revealing intricate layers and structures normally hidden from view. His approach lives at the intersection of art and science, applying modern techniques to stretch the boundaries of perception. The work resists easy classification as photography, which has led science institutions, museums, and galleries to collect and exhibit it. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has added pieces to the British National Collection of Photography, and several museums have mounted full retrospective presentations. Rather than fabricating or reshaping his subjects, Veasey makes visible what already exists beneath the surface. Through the controlled use of powerful radiation, he achieves images of surprising grace, rendering solid forms light and spectral and giving audiences the sensation of seeing the world anew. This reception provides a welcoming look at an artist dedicated to expanding how we see through technology and vision.

Barns Courtney

Barns Courtney brings an intimate Unplugged Solo Session to Meow Wolf Santa Fe, highlighting his songs in a stripped-back format. His path has included an early label signing, disappearing A&R support, catalogs changing hands, and long stretches in stalled deals that led to couch surfing and side gigs. Momentum returned when Bradley Cooper selected his vocals for the film Burnt, while Glitter & Gold, a home-crafted track recorded in a deserted care facility with filing cabinets used as percussion, ultimately reached platinum status in the United States. Since then he has landed several Top 10 placements at alternative radio and earned a reputation for wild, must-see performances. Now releasing music through independent label Avenue A, he underscores that the songs connect even when the industry machine does not. Tickets are 25 dollars plus fees in advance and 30 dollars plus fees the day of the show. This is an all-ages event with standing room only. Parking is available at the venue. Alcohol will be served, and outside food or drink is not permitted. For ADA accommodations, please contact the venue in advance.

DIIV

DIIV takes the stage at Meow Wolf Santa Fe with special guest Draag for an all ages, standing room only show. Advance tickets are $30 plus fees, with day-of pricing at $35 plus fees. DIIV’s recent work, captured on their fourth album Frog in Boiling Water, emerged from a long, collaborative process that pushed the band’s musicianship and unity. The music draws on breakbeat-inspired rhythms and post-industrial intensity, pairing them with airy guitars and hushed vocals to explore uncertainty while searching for moments of light. The result moves from brooding textures to subtle lift, reflecting a democratic approach that prioritizes equal voices and shared creation. Los Angeles five-piece Draag is known for immersive performances that fuse shoegaze, electro-industrial, and punk into bittersweet, textured songs. Their self-produced releases layer dense guitars, retro video game synths, and warped tape sounds while tracing personal histories, including life with immigrant parents, sobriety, and religious trauma. Their EP Miracle Drug continues that archival spirit by drawing on family footage and memories as a prelude to a larger body of work. ADA accommodations are available by speaking with a team member. Parking is available at the venue. Alcohol is served, and outside food or drinks are not permitted. For a smooth entry, leave prohibited items such as backpacks, oversized bags, laptops or tablets, bulky coats, umbrellas, luggage, strollers, skateboards, and professional recording equipment at home or in a locker.

Presented by The Kitchen Sink and Edition One Gallery, the program highlights a life in music shaped by collaboration, curiosity, and a wide stylistic range. A prolific singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with more than five decades on stage and in the studio, Manson has performed everywhere from gritty New York clubs to the Madison Square Garden stage, working as a performer, producer, and audio engineer. His genre-crossing repertoire blends roots, rock, soul, pop, and country, with songs that balance grit, humor, and heart. Raised in a creative family, he put together his first band as a child and emerged in the 1970s as a key voice in the New York underground. With his group Joey Miserable and The Worms, he earned recognition for galvanizing a new generation of artists, drawing praise from peers like Joan Osborne and notice from The New York Times. He learned by playing with others rather than through formal study, a collaborative approach that continues to define his work. Manson has shared the stage with Pete Seeger, backed Bo Diddley, and maintained a long creative partnership with John Popper of Blues Traveler. His projects range from writing and producing for Crystal Bowersox, to traveling to Pakistan to work with Sindhi sufi and rock band The Sketches, to producing albums for Italian rockers The Gang, to contributing music for a Kevin Costner film and collaborating with KT Tunstall. His discography spans releases on both major and independent labels across three continents. Based in Santa Fe since 1992, he founded and leads The Kitchen Sink recording studio as chief engineer. He is a seven-time Producer of the Year at the New Mexico Music Awards and has collaborated with artists including Tom Paxton, Warren Haynes, Eliza Gilkyson, Amanda Palmer, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Tim Grimm, T Bone Burnett, David Berkeley, Tom Russell, Gary Nicholson, Edoardo Bennato, The Mother Hips, and The Limeliters, all while continuing to craft and perform his own music.

Preserving Place: The Santa Fe Continuum — Historic Santa Fe Foundation

The Historic Santa Fe Foundation is hosting the Preserving Place Symposium. This event explores the various aspects of Santa Fe that have attracted tourists and new residents for many years, while also examining the disconnect in communication and social cohesiveness that can arise from preserving the aesthetics of downtown Santa Fes architecture. Preservation and its connection to social issues are relevant topics, especially considering the revisions to Santa Fes General Plan and Land Use Code. The symposium aims to explore connections between different sections of town, discuss how the City and County collaborate on development, and improve communication about issues in various neighborhoods. The goal is to encourage discussions about social, planning, development, and architecture-related issues, focusing on housing, development, adaptive reuse, and designing for the New Mexico climate, all while using the preservation of Santa Fes historical character as a foundation. Civic leaders, architects, builders, developers, preservationists, and community members will explore how the citys past can inform an equitable and sustainable future and address land use, growth, and affordability. Student scholarships are available.

“Heart in Hand Workshop” with Deborah Mitchell

Create a deeply personal mixed media artwork with Deborah Mitchell at Artful Soul: Creative Experiences in Santa Fe. Drawing on the spirit of the Year of the Fire Horse in Chinese astrology, associated with vitality, freedom, courage, and forward momentum, this hands-on session offers space to reflect at the start of a new nine-year cycle. Begin by tracing your own hand, or the hand of someone dear to you, then build a layered piece with lines, symbols, images, and collage elements that speak to your stories, turning points, dreams, and intentions. Your finished work could serve as a visual autobiography, a tribute, a meditation on what comes next, or a meaningful addition to an altar or personal space. To get ready, bring photographs, letters, postcards, lightweight drawings, fabric, or other meaningful paper items you would like to include, and note ideas or memories in a sketchbook ahead of time. Arrive ready to create and reflect, and let that inner Fire Horse spark set the tone for your next chapter.

Wavves

Wavves brings a raucous, all-ages night to Meow Wolf Santa Fe as the band spotlights Spun, a new album that marks the next phase for Nathan Williams alongside Stephen Pope, Ross Traver, and Alex Gates. After returning with their first new music since 2021, launching Wavvy Supply Co., and playing a Los Angeles wildfire benefit at Zebulon, the group extended the momentum with a deluxe edition of Spun that adds two B-sides and the Live Wavvy Sessions, a set of in-studio performances capturing the band’s raw energy. Those sessions include takes on King of the Beach, Nine Is God, Green Eyes, Goner, and So Long, connecting fan favorites with the latest material. Goner, produced by Travis Barker with a Brandon Dermer–directed video filmed during the charity show, reflects an evolution that still nods to Williams’ roots writing in the Hideaway shed behind his parents’ home. From early DIY releases and the breakthrough of King of the Beach to major-label albums and a return to Ghost Ramp for Spun, Wavves continues to fuse sharp hooks with punk grit. Tickets are $28 plus fees, with $33 plus fees on the day of show. Member and Spotify pre-sales precede the public on-sale. The show is standing room only and welcomes all ages. For ticketing help, contact Meow Wolf at 1-866-636-9969. For ADA accommodations, email help@meowwolf.com in advance. Parking is available at the venue.
