Play As We Are - The Splendid Splendor Maze!
A collective (musicians + public) journey all around Splendor. Join us!
The Splendid Splendor Maze! Play As You Are and Moving Strings are excited to invite you to join The Splendid Splendor Maze! On Friday, July 7th, we will go on a musical exploration of the intricacies of Splendor’s building, and all its hidden, dark and magical corners in a way you have never known before!
Everyone is invited to a one-and-a-half hour workshop, from 18:30-20:00 where together we will study open scores and exercises that connect movement and sound. These are created specifically for the different spaces of the building, echoing and conversing with the architecture and atmosphere of Splendor. At 20:00 we will embark on a journey, with music and movement, to which the general public will also be invited.
Who is invited to participate in the workshop and performative journey?
Everyone! The open scores are made for everybody, for people who play musical instruments or sing, but also for ones who don’t. You don't need to know how to read music, you don't need to be a professional, you don't even need to be a musician, and you don't need a background in movement. What do you need? Curiosity, openness, playfulness and passion for collaboration and research, and a little daring ;)
How do you sign-up?
Write us an email to playasyouare@protonmail.com with your name and some details, such as if you intend to come on a musical instrument, or prefer to sing, or if walking is more your thing. Let us know if you have any questions.
Is it possible to come only at 20:00 and enjoy the journey without participating in the sound/movement?
Yes, sure!
Who else is participating and who are we?
We are Play As We Are, a platform for research and education of Somatic Sound Practices led by Alexandra Baybutt, Alex Welch and Maya Felixbrot. PAWA is part of MovingStrings ensemble which is ensemble-in-residence at Splendor.
