Sing sing sing sing sing!

This pathway is largely defined by what it isn’t. We won’t work on theory. We’ll hold each other with compassion as usual, but we won’t centre healing. Yes this artform is (perhaps inherently spiritual), but we won’t dive deep into themes of ritual.

Instead, our central fire is Creativity.

Dancing with the void. Being an instrument for the music of now. It’s a muscle, and the more we practice it, the more our creativity grows.

In this pathway, we work with:

  • Singing, primarily: vocal improvisation.

  • Collaborative Improvisation - being a vessel for the muse together. Emergent co-creativity. Co-entering flow states and following the creative unfolding from a place of regulation, ease and connectedness - enjoying yourself!

  • Movement - expressive movement alone, and attuning creativity to others through movement. Pairs, trios, small ensemble, whole group forms

  • Language and poetics. Poetry - improvised spoken and sung poetry; poetry written by you and others. Being poetic, creative and imaginative with our improvised song lyrics.

  • Courage; gradually eroding inhibition so full creative expression can be available to you a) alone, b) whilst connecting creatively with others c) while being seen and heard by an audience.

  • Widening the truth frame, into the fuller human experience. Exploring taboo. De-shaming all that it is to be human. The artists’ role in welcoming us all home.

  • What is our creativity sourced from, and in service to? A bigger picture. Source, and Paradigm Shift.

  • Having Lots of Fun.
