Introduction
Workshop: The Great Learning
Full of Noises and Mahogany Opera invites you to a free day-long workshop aimed at music workshop/choir leaders with an interest in shared learning around co-creative community projects.
About the workshop
Share approaches to improvisation and experimental music making, starting with Mahogany Opera’s recent Great Learning project, inspired by Cornelius Cardew’s work.
Jack McNeill will introduce you to his new work Air Songs and discuss the future opportunities for you and your networks to engage with this work.
In the near future, there is a divide between those who live in clean air and those who do not. Air Songs are a mysterious oral tradition that has emerged out of an opposition movement in an age of climate inequality…
Propellor’s latest project is an interactive digital drama: a GPS soundwalk inside a new violin concerto with a live massed natural voice choir, telling the story of an industrial conspiracy in an all-too-imaginable future.
Create
Join Propellor’s director/clarinettist Jack McNeill and Freddie Wake-Walker (Mahogany Opera) in a real-time creation event. Be among the first to hear extracts of the new concerto and digital drama. You’ll be guided through a series of breathwork exercises, vocalisations and ways of engaging with your soundscape as you’re invited to engage in a situation placing you at the centre of a gathering, a protest, and starting to sing…
Where will this take us? Come and help Jack, Freddie and Propellor to find out.
Air Songs is part of Jack McNeill's Catalyst Residency here in Cumbria, this is an invitation to be part of a creative process that will hopefully create the context for future large-scale community events. The final work will premiere in Cumbria in 2025.
In the afternoon there will also be an opportunity for participants to briefly test out new ideas and techniques from their own practice and gather feedback from the group. We’ll also be asking the group how we can work together to co-create projects of different sizes and scale in the future and what this could look like.
