Sound, Body, Ensemble is a collaborative space where participants will explore how improvised sound, gesture, and play can facilitate the creation of ensemble pieces. Using devised theatre techniques, body percussion, and singing, Sara Lucas and Luis C Sotelo will lead the group in creating and performing a collective work that centers relational making and call and response. Open to participants of all abilities—no former training in music or theatre is required.
