Helping Hands and Temporary Position invite you to a collaboration of ideas. De-choiring: mapping encounters is a workshop in sound and visual mapping that highlights our relationship to our immediate surroundings. Across a series of exercises, we will compose a communal sonic map that forms connections between landscape and community.
Please bring a small object of significance that reflects a routine or space you frequent or feel most grounded in. This could be a household object, a trinket, or something found along the way.
No music or choir experience needed. Open to all ages and abilities.

De-Choiring Together is a drop-in community ‘choir’ that explores new methods of score making to instigate vocalisations, gestures and soundmaking. Together we will experiment in bringing together voices with abstract communication and interpretation. We will look at imagery and movement as ways of making collective sound.
No music or choir experience needed. Open to all ages and abilities.

30 Minutes From: A Walk — Marianna Ebersoll
[URL]
2021 - Present
Every day we navigate the city in our own worlds, plugged into various technologies that track our paths. What happens we all listen in to the same audio file at the same time, following the same instructions and walking to the same meeting point? A 30 minute guided audio piece will bring you towards our destination. There, we will discuss and share images, thoughts and reflections from our walks, connecting our experiences to form a shared archive.
Prompted by Covid-19 restrictions this invitation has been extended to wherever you may be, whenever you get there. Rather than meeting at one time and space, as originally planned, we will now meet on a collaborative google doc where images, thoughts and reflections from our walks will connect our experiences, forming a shared archive. In the guide there will be suggested routes that can be used as reference for your own walk, but you can take part in this exercise whenever and wherever is possible for you.
