The next session of the ‘for the listen to live here’ series is guided by voice and sound artist, researcher, and performer Angelo Custodio. Through listening, he facilitates processes that hold space for regenerative movement and nourish relational understandings of the bodymindvoice. His work develops sonic encounters with the vulnerable, opening “cracks” to wild(er) spaces that utterly invite freer ecologies of living.

This session emerges from a collaboration between Angelo Custodio and shy*play to explore diffractive practices of polyphony. This means composing in difference yet in relation, where each voice carries its own worlds, creating a multivocality that follows no hierarchy and seeks no unity.

Through various scores, a range of different possibilities of participation will be prompted, from the use of the voice for humming, murmuring, stuttering, etc., to engaging in spatial movement or stimming practices such as rocking and circling. The space will be arranged with hanging fabrics to avoid the need for facial centering and other neurotypical conventions.

Those who feel marginalized or silenced in mainstream spaces are especially warmly invited. Participants require no prior experience. Drinks and snacks will be offered throughout.
