MONDAY 11TH DECEMBER 2018 | 6-8pm | PERFORMANCE STUDIO, GRAND PARADE
A workshop led by Ingrid Plum exploring deep listening exercises, sonic meditations, improvisation and extended vocal technique following the teachings of Pauline Oliveros and Meredith Monk as well as a wealth of techniques gathered from teachers and traditions around the world. This workshop is suitable for all levels of experience and is best suited to those with an interest in sounding the voice, sound art, experimental music and sonic meditation, but previous practice in those fields is not necessary. Learn a range of listening exercises to benefit production and performance skills along with breathing and vocal exercises with a focus on deep listening and harmony, involving discussion and working with the natural voice to develop confidence. By the end of the workshop participants will have a ‘tool kit’ of exercises they can work with to expand their own practice and the opportunity to perform at a gallery event in 2018.
