"When we participate in circle singing, we move beyond the edges of the music sheets and tap into the essence of music, allowing the true power of connection and creativity to take centre stage. We begin to listen to ourselves and others as we respond in real time to the music unfolding around us, enabling our instincts and intuition to guide us. In this space, we set aside preconceived planning and, instead, embrace the beauty of spontaneity and collaboration. In circle singing, we build a sense of community that is rooted in mutual respect and trust. We learn to lead, follow, and integrate our ideas, creating a harmonious blend of individuality and unity. This experience not only strengthens the voice, nourishes the soul, boosts creativity, soothes the mind, and brings a sense of rejuvenation but also nourishes a deeper connection with ourselves and those around us."
Circle Singing London offers a unique and refreshing alternative to traditional choirs. By gathering in a circular formation and improvising, participants are able to connect with one another on a deeper level, cultivate a sense of unity, and experience music in ways that are both exhilarating and transformative. Here, every voice is valued, and each participant is an equal contributor, creating a truly collaborative and inclusive experience.
What will happen?
We will gather in a circle and begin with gentle warm-ups designed to loosen our body, breath, and voice. From there, we will explore basic improvisational vocabulary and gradually move from silence, listening, toning, exploring rhythms, and vocal creativity of the group towards guided vocal sound exercises, sound bathing, and circle singing. We will master the tools that help us create collaborative music on the spot. At the heart of it all, we will learn to surrender to the magic of the moment and trust that everything we need is already here, waiting to be discovered. Join us on this journey of spontaneity and self-discovery.
It is a healing and creative experience.
There is no previous experience required.
