Open Call For Free Participation – Sound out for Voices & Bellsce

You are invited to take part in Sound Out by Sharon Gal, an experimental, participatory performance for a group of voices (& bells), taking place at The Tin Tabernacle in Kilburn, London NW6

Sound Out invites people with or without previous vocal or performance experience, to come together, vocalise, experiment, interact and engage with others by responding to the space’s architecture and resonance. The piece evolves collectively, through a process of playful explorations and collaborative composition.

You are invited to share your voice and imagination, and breathe life into this historic 160 years old building, to evoke its memories and awaken its spirit; experiencing it like never before.

• The piece will be developed between 12pm-3pm, and performed after the break, at 5pm.
