You want something different? What about flower arranging, unicycle lessons, or even diabolo lessons? And what the heck is a diabolo anyway?

Shelly Doyenne, owner of Manistee’s Ideal Kitchen, will present a how-to on easy entertaining Aug. 18 at the Ramsdell.

Instead, he offers floral workshops. They are an outgrowth of his subscription flower delivery service, Floral Underground. “It’s an experiential workshop, like cookbook demonstrations,” he said.

His botanical bar setups include a variety of terrarium and planting containers, live miniature plants, soil and decorative media as well as tools of the trade. Projects include Plant Flights, Succulent Wreaths, Moss Frames and more. Woodruff said the most popular is the terrarium workshop, where participants create their own miniature plant world.

The pandemic has seen him shift to an online model. “I’ve been getting requests for virtual ones,” he said, though he did have his first live presentation in months just a couple weeks ago. It was held outside, and participants were spaced far apart for safety. He’s created his own Youtube channel and can conduct the workshops via Zoom as well. Go to DerekTheBartender.com.

Now, about the unicycle and the diabolo. Both are courtesy of Josh Hartman, who is ostensibly a professional photographer, but also touts the benefits of sporting about on a unicycle. “I’ve been doing it about 10 years,” he said.

It wasn’t enough that he could ride one, he had to add tricks, like headstands. Then he got the bright idea of passing those skills along to others. “I was reaching out in a unicycle group and asked, Does anyone want to learn virtually?” One man said it was his dream to have his son learn, and Hartman soon had an eager student learning to balance and idling by pedaling forward and backward.

Not content to stop there, he’s also working with a youngster learning the diabolo, aka the Chinese yo-yo. Two cups or discs are attached by an axle, with the object then spun or tossed into the air by a string attached to two sticks.

His diabolo student is in North Carolina, where he previously taught second grade. He left teaching when he found he was making more money as a weekend photographer. “Plus there was too much paperwork. My favorite part of the job was recess. That’s what I get to do now,” Hartman said. The sometimes-Traverse Cituan is living on the road; find him on Instagram and online at www.halfabike.com.

INTERLOCHEN

While the campus is closed and the stage at Kresge is empty, Interlochen Center for the Arts is still offering classes.

Hartman will teach you how to master the Chinese yo-yo online.

More than 70 adults from around the world will participate in the adult band camp Aug. 11-14. Faculty will teach master classes on instrumental technique, host lectures, and prepare students for individual solo video recordings of Gustav Holst’s “First Suite in E-flat for Military Band,” which will be transformed into a virtual performance and launched at a later date.

The chamber camp Aug. 17-22 will see string, piano, and woodwind musicians leading pedagogy workshops, master classes, presentations, and more. A virtual chamber music concert series will feature daily live performances by faculty and guest chamber music ensembles from locations across the country.
