About this Event
We're so excited to host the first Key of She live showcase, which is a chance for women, and gender minority musicians and sound practitioners in Sheffield to share their musical practice in a live performance setting. There will also be live improvisations throughout the evening which is really exciting!
Tickets are Pay As You Feel. The event will be raising money for the future of Key of She, to continue to be able to provide free musical improvisation workshops, jams and sound baths to people in Sheffield.
There will also be vegetarian and vegan food available, free to performers and avaialble to all for a small PAYF donation.
The event will be open to anyone interested in being part of the night, but women and marginalised genders only will be invited to perform, as this is the focus of Key of She's work.
Who are Key of She?
KOS was set up in 2021 to empower women and minority genders to pursue their creativity in safe spaces, and integrate them into creative music spaces that have been and are typically male-dominated. To help redress the gender imbalance within the music industry by providing paid opportunities for women and minority gender artists based in Sheffield, or the North; and free educational opportunities for those developing their creativity.
We run :
MONTHLY JAM NIGHTS - the night features a 'fireside chat' with a guest of honour (North-based female/trans/non-binary artist) followed by improv sessions with attendees of all abilities & instruments.
WORKSHOPSS - To supplement the nights & cultivate people's music improv development we run regular workshops. Themes include improv 101 & advanced improv, vocals, keys, drums/percussion, free improv & interdisciplinary improv.
LISTENING NIGHTS- We host therapeutic listening nights with Pauline Oliveros’ Deep Listening exercises in exciting spaces across the city of Sheffield.
