“Voice projects itself outside trying to build space, it is a vehicle for spatial orientation, it struggles to clutch, it is a call, it struggles to build a significance on things”
Demetrio Stratos, Singing the Voice
“Richard Lee calculated that a Bushman child will be carried a distance of 4,900 miles before he begins to walk on his own. Since, during this rhythmic phase, he will be continuosly naming the contents of his territory, it is impossible he will not become a poet.”

ALL YOU NEED IS FLOW
New space of practice for the students of the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles!
Studying music requires a strong discipline which can sometimes affect the pleisure of free creativity.
This space is offered to students in order to gain a possibility of having the pure fun of creation in a collective dynamic, but also to give an opportunity to theatre students to explore musical composition techniques in a spontaneus and playful frame.
With Bobby Mc Ferrin's words:
"Circlesongs is an immersion in sound, creativity, and community. It challenges all participants to play, sing, invent, imagine, and explore. In the circle, we make music, build trust, take risks, and embrace life to the fullest. Every song, every voice has a place"
