Do you live in one of the houses overlooking the courtyard? Do you like singing? Would you like to be part of a temporary art happening?

The South African artist, James Webb, and local musician Nina Grigorjeva, are collaborating with Konsthall C on a special event in the courtyard and are looking for singers to collaborate with. You don’t need to be a professional singer, you just need to be keen to participate.

The idea is to create a temporary choir made up of residents of the apartments that share a courtyard. Together we will work on a song that can be sung from the windows and balconies overlooking the courtyard. The audience will be situated in the courtyard and will experience the song being all around them, coming from the windows and the balconies of the houses. It will be as if the buildings are singing to each other.

The idea came from how during the 2020 lockdown in Italy, isolated people sang from their balconies. And, in a way, our project is like a softer and more melodic Lappis scream.

The rehearsals will involve singing exercises, group singing, free vocalisation, and experimental, spatialised singing. It will be fun. They will last about about 90 minutes, and include soup and bread.

We will be having rehearsals on the following days:

Tuesday, 2 November: 18:00 - 19:30

Tuesday, 9 November: 18:00 - 19:30

Tuesday, 16 November: 18:00 - 19:30
