The Sound Along the Stream (Sharon Gal) | Confluence: The River Speaks

The sound along the stream is a journey and an intervention, led by Sharon Gal and taking place along the banks of the river Wandle.

The workshop takes inspiration from nature and explores our relationship with the river and ideas about presence, flow and the dynamics of water. It will focus on developing awareness to the space and sounds around us through listening, responding and recording; using voice and movement to engage and interact with the environment and each other.

Following a voice/body warm-up and an introduction to the recording equipment participants will set out to walk along the banks of the river. The journey will evolve organically with time for observation and stillness and time for sound producing, movement and the recording of the process.
