Sonant / Sonnet is a participatory art-making experience that blurs the boundaries between workshop and performance, inviting audience/participants to engage in collective listening, group vocalisation/meditation, movement and score-making. Facilitated by musician and teaching artist Thea Martin, audience/participants will encounter a series of Thea’s text scores inspired by queer, experimental composer Pauline Oliveros, designed to revel in imagined and remembered sonic realms, and explore processes for self, community and environmental care. No experience in music/sound is required. Come as you are, we will meet you there. Works to be explored include ‘A Study of Very Small Sounds’, ‘Sonant’ and ‘Post-Scores for Doing Utopia’.
