Entangled Singing with Rhubaba Choir
5th November 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM GMT
The Rhubaba Choir provides the opportunity for individuals to sing together in a welcoming, eclectic group and share singing experiences. For this workshop, we are not looking for professional standard singing and welcome anyone who wants to lend their voice, regardless of prior musical experience – working mostly work by ear, rather than from sheet music.
The 3-hour workshop will generate material which will be collectively sung by the workshop participants at the event Entanglements: Studies in flowing, following, falling on Thursday November 7 at 6pm. Attendance at both times is required – arrival time on Thursday TBC.
Biography
The Choir was founded in 2013 by committee members of Rhubaba, an Edinburgh artist-run organisation. It acts as a commissioning platform for new works, intended to provide invited artists, musicians and writers with the resource of collective voices as a material. Rhubaba invites artists to make works for and with the voices of the choir, whether through traditional means or by using the voice in other, more experimental ways. In its lifetime, the Rhubaba Choir has sung in many places, including underpasses, on canal boats, up Calton Hill, and worked with many artists including Shona Macnaughton, Sion Parkinson, Kathryn Elkin, Hannan Jones, Serena Korda and Tessa Lynch.
