Heyoka is all about developing relationships between individuals from different backgrounds, with different life experiences and different world views. This program encourages using laughter and the joy found within music-making to encourage individuals from disparate communities to go outside their comfort zones and come together to promote a deeper level of interaction. The process of inter-grating students, their communities and arts organizations can help provide the support system that students need to succeed as they pursue an education and career in voice.<br> Along with encouraging and providing frameworks for inter-gration, Heyoka provides customized workshops and recitals that schools and arts organizations can use to help teach students and administrators about the power of music, education and laughter to help different groups work together. In many Native American tribes/teachings, the “Heyokah” has been the sacred fool who has total wisdom and teaches others through laughter and by doing everything opposite to the way others expect. The contrary clown who seeks to upset the balance and rigidity in our lives. The comedian who uses humor to make us take a good look at ourselves and our beliefs — and who challenges us to break old habits, think for ourselves and ultimately make changes in our lives.<br>
