Mapping a Collective Soundscape: Voice and Poetry Workshop

Want to expand your horizons? Visit the Red Hook Interim Library for this special, after-hours experience. Using the voice as an instrument for poetic activation, Queens-based artist and facilitator Haley Grey invites you to explore the possibilities of sound. By combining introspective and collective creative modes, participants will learn to listen and engage deeply both as individuals and as a group. The workshop will culminate with the composition of a communal song.
