IMAGINED COMMUNITY
Dates: Thursdays 4th Mar - 11th Mar 7pm - 8pm
A series workshops exploring collaboration, community, sound and listening via Zoom. Participants will work together to share their sound-spaces, sound-objects that have meaning to us, and then improvise with them together in digital space.
The intention is to create micro- communities: part imagined, part real, from our collaborative listening and sound making. All are welcome, no musical skill is necessary to join in with these sessions.
