Flow Choir [6-week series]

Join a committed cohort of singers for a 6-week journey through collaborative vocal improv.

Wednesdays 7-9 PM | Sept 9 - Oct 14

Flow Choir, born out of Circle Choir, is a focused series to explore the the joyful and freeing practice of vocal improv*. Rather than learning existing songs, singers will be facilitated through games and processes that explore the question "what is the music this room of people can make?!" Each week, participants will be lovingly led through a "flow," an uninterupted group vocal improv experience weaving together familiar games and structures that bring a room of individuals into a cohesive, yet ever shifting flow of music. In addition, each week we will dive into some foundational skills of collabortive vocal improv, supported by theory and small group practice, which will build our capacity to flow, together.

Led by Milly Roberts, co-founder of Boston-Area Singing Circles, these sessions will be highly informed by her facilitation training in Música do Círculo from Brazil, and her own adventures of uninterupted vocal jams within wildly resonant spaces.

Who: Anyone (ages 16+) who is ready for a playful and brave singing journey is welcome. Whether your only ever seen singing Happy Birthday in public, or you're a singing kitchen witchin' improvisator, this series offers the structure to free our inner voice, together.

*Can I flow without improvising? In fact, yes! While there will be many invitations for generating your own musical part within a flow, you always have the option of joining another existing musical part in the moment. However, the data tells us, the longer you spend in flow, the easier the improv comes.
