SONG WEAVING
Encounter through collective singing, sounding and vocal improvisation
SONG WEAVING is a singing encounter - a two hour flow of collective interaction through singing, sounding, movement and vocal improvisation. It’s a context for non-verbal communication and connection, rooting back into the ancestral practices of singing in community.
I will offer some initial guidance as a springboard for your vocal expression and interaction. I will offer simple songs, many of them call-and-response. I will accompany you with my presence, sound and movement. We will partner and mirror each other in dance steps, in connection, or in gentle motions pulsating within us that can ripple out into the whole room.
Together we will meet each other through songs of traditions from different parts of the world, through sound contemplations, through weaving of sounds, melodies and vocal improvisations.
For two hours we will encounter each other in an uninterrupted flow of non-verbal dialogue and communication.
I will be your guide and companion.
You will be my guest and co-creator of this encounter through live arts, through vocal practice, through movement.
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 meeting in practice during the Song Weaving sessions.
Song Weaving sessions will have an initial and closing guidance to support you in connecting to your world of feeling and imagination. However, the majority of the encounter will have very little verbal guidance or explanation. I will be guiding you through my behaviour, through non-verbal invitation to sing or interact. I will not tell you what to do or how.
It’s a 2 hour invitation to get in touch with your intuitive, creative resources that will help you discover your own ways of doing. Within this context you can experiment with your own ways to engage with some of the functions of collective singing.
For me singing is a way of investigating my inner worlds, nurturing my intuition, and connecting to the wisdom of the Sentient. During Song Weaving I invite you to have a taste of this approach to singing and knowing through sound.
Guided by Agnieszka Kazimierska.
