Drawing from the cleansing, relaxing, vulnerable and transformative potential of both public bathing and collective sonic experiences, Julia E Dyck is approaching the gallery as a public sound bath house. Dyck will host collective practices including sound bath, noise meditation, group hypnosis and participatory workshops using sound and voice to relate to and care for others.
Members of the choir are invited to participate in collective vocal practices and exercises with myself and the visitors of the gallery. We will follow experimental scores with the intention of playing with collectivity, communication, relationality, and queer ways of being together through sound. The scores are generally quite open to interpretation without linguistic meaning or classical musical notation. Curiosity and openness to engage and connect are the only requirements.
The public is invited to join the two Sound Bath sessions on Saturdays, November 11 and 18, from 4pm to 7pm.
