Interactivity Is A Must for 2025!
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!
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 our Dusty Producer to schedule a time slot. Final scheduling will close on August 1, 2025 for Tomorrow Today – but if you want to make it into the WWW Guide, be sure to book early!
2025 Schedule
Sunday, August 24 @ 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 25 through Saturday, August 30 / 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:

Playa Choir Rehearsals
This is where we get down to the nitty gritty details. We learn how to work together, and harmonize together, and blend together, have joy together, have pain together, have crying jags together, where we breathe together, and move together, and know how to trust together.
Madi is a wonder. She’s been doing this on the Playa for over twenty years. It is her calling. It is her Art Project, and we are only here to help her make it happen. Once you get hooked, you can’t look away. You don’t want to. You feel her vibe, her intention, her joy, her frustration, her command, her talent, her adaptability – and then, somehow, incredibly it all falls into place. It all comes together. And together, we make amazing music. We make Vocal Art!
Tuesday, August 26 / 8:00pm – ends whenever the booze runs out…
The Con Noe Sewer Saloon

There will be stickers! There will be booze! There will be beats! There will booze! There will be T-Shirts! There will be booze!…uh…did I say there’ll be <hic> booze?
Come and learn about this drinking camp with a Choir problem. Join us in our Dome. Meet people, get the current 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? Or do you just wanna grab a drink (or several) from our bar and dance your ass off? Then bring your ID 21+ only, and don’t forget your cup!
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!
