SONG WEAVING with Agnieszka Kazimierska

WORKSHOP | SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 | 3–5 PM | $30SONG WEAVING with Agnieszka Kazimierska Collective singing, sounding and vocal improvisation. 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 this session, you will approach some of those possible functions of collective singing guided by Agnieszka Kazimierska. 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 you will be answering in practice during the Song Weaving sessions.  Song Weaving is a playful invitation to singing, weaving of sounds, songs, melodies, and vocal compositions. Through singing, you will explore the possibility of coming in closer touch with yourself and the inner worlds pulsating within you. You will approach your worlds of sensing, feeling, and imagination. You will explore personal motivations and creative ways of making meaning. Your individual expression will be received in this collective context for non-verbal communication and connection.  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 behavior, through non-verbal invitations to sing or interact. I will not tell you what to do or how.  It’s a two-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 Agnieszka Kazimierska, singing is a way of investigating her inner worlds, nurturing her intuition, and connecting to the wisdom of the Sentient. During Song Weaving, she invites you to taste this approach to singing and knowing through sound.  There are a limited number of participants. Registration is required.  WHEN?
