VOICE, LISTENING & HARMONY
Workshop on traditional polyphony
⭐We invite you to join the seventh workshop organised around P.I.E. (Performative Impro Encounters).
This time with the great improvisers, actors and singers Ola Kugacz-Semerci & Mertcan Semerci
/In video with their colleague
Besides our monthly Instant Composition evenings in Punctum, we want to encourage everyone to dive in the world of performing improvisation.
Description:
This two-day workshop invites participants into a shared vocal practice centered on listening, presence, and collective sound. Drawing inspiration from traditional polyphonic singing practices from Georgia and Corsica, we will explore how distinct vocal lines can come together into a living, breathing musical form. During the workshop, participants will also learn selected songs from the Mediterranean region (including Corsica and Sicily) as well as from Georgia.
As leaders of the workshop, we bring long-term practice in researching and working with polyphonic traditions as members of Teatr ZAR, where polyphonic singing has been a central element in the dramaturgy of our performances. Through guided exercises and group exploration, we will focus on voicing together—developing awareness of the individual voice within the ensemble while building a unified musical body.
