Expressive Arts Circle: Sculpting Rhythms

〰️

About this event

"A soundscape is simultaneously a physical environment and a way of perceiving that environment" - Emily Thompson

What is my inner soundscape? How do I contribute to the soundscape of my environment?

In our next circle, we will play with contrast through the medium of sound. Participants will build their own individual musical instruments, which we will then play together. We will investigate the contrast of physically creating something tangible with our hands to the ephemeral nature of improvised music, as well as contrasts inherent in the different ways of making and perceiving sound - playing with dynamics, rhythm, structure, listening, and expressing, finding our own unique sounds to contribute to a collective soundscape.

You don't need any art experience to join, come as you are!

All bodies are welcome.

This session is led by:

Aisling Marnae & Noga Enbar

Our Approach

The activities offered in this circle are informed by Intermodal Expressive Arts (Paolo Knill). It is an integrative, multimodal approach that utilises a variety of methods including poetry, music, visual arts, drama, sounds, clay, movement, and nature-based methods to help individuals navigate and achieve personal growth, using their own resources.

We begin the session by sharing inquiries and tuning in. The liminal space unfolds during the creative process, as we engage in guided art activities. No habitual thinking - just full presence, imagination, play, and welcoming the unexpected. At the end of the session, we reflect and share what has arrived, along with any messages or stories that need to be told.
