SPECIAL EVENTS
​During these sessions we will practice singing and co-creating in community through call-and-response songs of tradition, vocal improvisation and creative weaving of sounds together.
Each session will have an initial warm-up and vocal exploration, and then we will sing collective songs and enter a guided vocal improvisation - in couples or as a whole group.
In Song Weaving the approach to singing is dynamic: as we sing we relate to our imagination, we move and interact with one another in the space, we follow the rhythm or movement together, creating a net of connections that ripple throughout the room.
This is a space for playfulness, connection and tending to the human heart as we sing, individually and together.
These sessions are for anyone wanting to sing and enjoy the nourishment of human connection that comes through sounding and singing together. You don’t need to be a singer or think you know how to sing in order to participate.
These are practice sessions: we will stop, repeat, try again.
SONG WEAVING Practice Sessions are a weekly opportunity to learn and practice songs and ways of relating to sounding and singing together that underlie the SONG WEAVING Singing Encounter - a 2 hour flow of songs, movement and vocal improvisation at FUSION on the 26th of April. During that Singing Encounter we will enter a flow of vocal space together, without a moment for “learning” or “repeating”.
Join SONG WEAVING Singing Encounter at FUSION
Collective singing is one of the oldest human practices. Songs and tunes that arose in the space of togetherness had a variety of functions: people used to sing to celebrate, to mark important moments of life passage, to commemorate, to pray, to give thanks, to grieve or to play.
During our sessions we will approach some of those possible functions of collective singing.
How to approach a song? For whom or for what do I sing? What kind of movement or behaviour does this melody invite me to do?
These are some of the questions we will be answering in practice during the Song Weaving sessions.
