Collective Breaths & Soundscapes
EVENTS
FRIDAY, JUNE 19
THE EVENT
Utilizing breath as a starting point for multisensory exploration, participants are invited to collectively create soundscapes in their own unique ways. Drawing inspiration from the Cycladic figurines and their characteristic hand placement below the chest, the group will practice diaphragmatic breathing to encourage relaxation, concentration, and a fuller, more resonant production of sound.
Participants will then work with elements such as rhythm and vocal intensity to create soundscapes inspired by the world of the sea. Using the voice beyond language — through non-verbal sounds and improvisation — allows us to express ourselves freely, without the constraints of speech, while also enabling equal participation regardless of age, expressive skills, or sensory disabilities.
The experience will be further enriched with natural materials such as water, stones, and leaves, which function not only as sources of sound but also as multisensory stimuli, creating an environment of exploration and experimentation.
