Calendar of Events

Resonance Collaborative Open Mic


Resonance is a free, all-ages event hosted by St. Brigid’s Episcopal Church and Oceanside Theatre Company, that builds community through creative expression. It’s a space for all creatively-inclined people — artists, musicians, writers, and more — to showcase their work and to practice spontaneous creation together.

It’s not quite an open mic, jam session, drum circle, or art night — but it has elements of all of these. And everyone who comes is welcome to participate as much or as little as they choose. If you’d prefer to just come and enjoy the vibe and performances, you are welcome to do that too.

Shredding: A New Lens in Surf Filmmaking


Shredding
is a short surf film program that challenges outdated stereotypes about who belongs in surf culture. Instead of centering caricatures like Spicoli or Bodhi, these films highlight surfers from Morocco to the California coast—people whose presence on the water redefines what it means to “shred.”

Through stories of access, identity, and resilience, Shredding celebrates a new wave of surfers expanding the sport’s image and welcoming others to do the same. What remains after dismantling the old archetype is something deeper: the shared joy, freedom, and connection that surfing brings to all who answer the ocean’s call.

With films by Rabbi Chel Mandell, Lo Frentz, Serra Soyupak, Peter Williams, Nesrine Majzoub, Zachary Zezima, Yusuf Demirörs, and Arne JinAn Wong. Filmmakers will be in attendance!
