Workshop 1: In Search of the Roots - Bulgarian Vocal Workshop
Facilitator: Viktoria Nikolova (The Hague, The Netherlands)
In this workshop, we will go on a quick journey to a small country in Eastern Europe called Bulgaria. Together, we will try to find the deep resonance of our body through physical and vocal improvisation in this music style. In the end, we will learn to sing simple, local songs and learn a little bit more about their Bulgarian roots. All voices welcome; no previous musical training necessary!”

Workshop 2: Discover Your Expressive Voice
Facilitator: Namie Rasman (Singapore)
Let's use our voice to express ourselves! We can use nonsensical syllables, imitate what we hear, or just simply make up sounds. Once we have explored our platter of expressive voice, it is time to let go and immerse ourselves in an experimental jam. Join the fun; no previous musical training needed!

Workshop 3: Deep Listening
Facilitator: Mar Alzamora-Rivera (Panama City)
While living these uncertain times, this workshop seeks to create a telematic sounding connection through listening, improvisation, meditation and dreams between the participants. It is based on the books and teachings of Pauline Oliveros, IONE, and Heloise Gold. This workshop is open for musicians and non-musicians; please dress comfortably and bring an instrument, object, and/or your body to improvise. Mar is a Deep Listening® Certificate Holder since 2016.

Workshop 4: Imaginary Soundscape / Excercise in Creative Listening
Facilitator: Sam Herle (Vancouver, Canada)
This workshop is open to anybody regardless of musical experience and background. It will consist of various listening exercises and creative prompts encouraging the participant to investigate their own associations with various sounds in relation to the world around them.

Workshop 5: Cybertogetherness
Facilitators: Anna Borou Yu and Jiajian Min (New York, USA)
How do we achieve the liveliness of performance in a digital world? This workshop invites you to unite with us in the virtual space, reimagine different ways of togetherness and create group improvisation performances with multisensory experiences. It is not only a composition of performers but a choreography of media, frontstage, and backstage.

Workshop 6: Playing with Objects, Connecting with Place
Facilitators: Jury Tosh Kobayashi (London, Canada) and Jeremy Rosenstock (Monterey, Canada)
How might the materials all around us function as musical scores? How might our relationship with ‘things’ and sound connect us to our environments? In this workshop, we explore discussions and exercises around these questions. No previous music training necessary!"
