The Sound Weaver explores the raw wildness and harmonious nature that lives deep within all of us.
Join Sound Weaver, Jacinta Percy on an 8hr meditative vocal and sounding improvisation, as she tears off the shackles of what we think singing and sounding should sound like, by allowing herself to surrender to the music that breathes through her.
During the prayformance Jacinta will sit, move, breath, and sound the life that pulses through her while blindfolded, exploring the boundless potential and raw wilderness of her voice and its expressions, cultivating a place of prayer through intention.
Jacinta invites members of the public to gather in silence, meet in sound and breathe their intentions into form.
The Sound Weaver Journey
===============
During the first three hours, you are invited to come and witness her tune in and transform the space setting intention with every song and sound. Listening deeply to every moment of creation and allowing the imperfect to be the perfect.
For the remaining five hours of the prayformance, Jacinta invites those witnessing who feel moved, to join her in a spontaneous raw collaborative vocal and sound improvisation. This is an opportunity to dive deeply together into the unknown, dissolving the barriers that keep us separate.
Feel free to come and go as you like, but the artist suggests that members of the public spend at least 30min - 1hour in the space to deeply connect in silence and sound.
===============
What happens when we witness another in their creativity and pleasure?
What happens when we are moved and share our own magnificence with others?
What happens when a community comes together in sound and creates a place for gratitude, a place for prayer, a place for rest, a place to surrender and a place to feel their inner awakenings and yearnings?
===============
With love,
The Sound Weaver X
