Interactivity Is A Must for 2024!
Interactivity, in particular, is core to both the placement process and Black Rock City. Interactivity is public and available to all citizens. Interactivity includes hosting, inviting and engaging people to interact, in addition to passive objects or do-it-yourself (DIY) art. Interactivity also includes ways our campers are contributing culturally and creating spontaneous community interactions, so it’s important to us that our beautiful Dome is in full and happy use.
The Place You Go To Sing
Our Dome is used every morning for Choir Rehearsals and of course all day on Sunday. It is, however, available in the afternoons and evenings for:
- Singing Lessons and Vocal Coaching
- Pub Crawls
- Chamber Music
- Opera
- Yoga
- Sound Healings
- Ted Talks
- Ecstatic Dances
- Singing Circles
- Costume Parties
And be sure to drop by every morning from 8:00 a.m. – 10 a.m. for fresh brewed coffee, and a Temple Of Harmonics experience!
Below is our current schedule for 2024. As you can see, we’re pretty busy until after 2:00 p.m. But then the Dome is wide-open and available. Are you interested in hosting a Happy Hour? Are you a DJ and need a place to spin? Don’t forget, we have a full sound system with mixer – if you’re a band, book a slot and plug in!
Please contact the Magister Domus to schedule a time slot. Final scheduling will close on August 1, 2024 for Curiouser and Curiouser – but if you want to make it into the WWWW Guide, be sure to book early!
2024 Schedule!
Sunday, August 25 @ 9:00pm – 10:00pm
Sensory Scope!
Time to Relax! This is a post-build sensory set-up before your amazing week kicks-off. Drop-in, put your feet up, or grab a pillow and get comfy, for a soothing ambient sonic bath – you’ll thank yourself in the morning.
DAILY: Monday, August 26 through Saturday, August 31 / 8:00am – 10:00am
The Temple Of Harmonics!
The Temple Of Harmonics in the Playa Choir Dome, is a sacred, peaceful, safe and inviting morning space, as the temperature slowly rises and the dust begins to swirl. Let the smell of fresh-brewed coffee lure you inside to relax, meditate, go for that second cup.
For Burning Man 2019: METAMORPHOSES, four separate soundscapes were envisioned and created by Miss Ayme (MEZAME), so that once inside our morning Temple, you would feel the rhythmic pulse, and experience different dynamics, layers, and dissonant harmonies. Open yourself to the music’s full breadth. Discern the wealth and variety of vocal timbres, and achieve a state of collective consciousness. Listen, share, dance. Express yourself as a part of a greater whole. Embrace the Chaos. Then Change again.
Whether or not music is being played or performed, each morning will offer a different activity inside our beautiful Dome:

Join us for a chance to mix and mingle on Playa. Let’s get together and have a chance to socialize when we aren’t trying to sing! Come and learn about the Choir, get music, make some friends and talk to folks from the other side of the risers! Are you interested in being in the Choir but want more information? This is your chance to find out what you want to know. In our Post Playa Survey, we received a number of requests for time to meet each other outside of rehearsal time. So this it! Bring something to share – a snack or a beverage or just show up!
