SUMMARY:Music Improvisation Circle
DESCRIPTION:An open invitation for us to form a community music improvisation circle\, with a focus on communication and togetherness.\n\n\nThis workshop is an open invitation for us to form a community music improvisation circle. The circle will be a non-hierarchical\, experimental space for community members to come together and re-imagine through improvisation\, with a focus on communication and togetherness. You’re invited to come with musical ideas and creative prompts in any medium\, that we’ll use as inspiration points to work from. \nWe start from the belief that everyone is a musician\, and that improvisation is a mode of interaction that we are constantly rehearsing in life.  \nSo while we actively welcome musicians\, and encourage you to bring instruments and your voice\, you can also come for example as an artist who wants to explore sound from a visual starting point\, or as someone who’s read a poem that really resonated and wants to bring it to life through musical improvisation using percussion on everyday objects.  \nYour ideas are welcome to shape and create the space together. \nThe group will run for 90 minutes\, with a 15-minute break in the middle\, and anyone who needs to take breaks throughout can do so as they wish. \nThose who sign up will receive another email closer to the time with more details\, and you are actively encouraged to get in touch at hello@londonlgbtqcentre.org if you have any other questions we can pass onto Fatima\, the Circle’s facilitator. \nTicket sales from this event will be donated by the facilitator towards Nation Station\, an NGO in the heart of Beirut in Lebanon. They’re currently doing everything they can to provide meals and other amenities to the estimated 1\,000\,000 recently displaced Lebanese people. \nAbout the facilitator: \nFatima (all pronouns) is an improviser and community musician based in London.  \nTheir musical influences include baroque music\, Arabic music\, and free improvisation\, and in 2022\, they released their first album\, ‘bulbul’\, which tells stories about birds\, voices\, home\, and the spaces in between.  \nThey’ve performed as a soloist and ensemble musician all over the UK and Europe\, and as a community musician\, they work regularly in care homes\, hospitals\, SEND schools\, theatres\, and community centres.  \nThey believe improvisation has the potential to allow us to imagine otherwise through sound\, and are excited to continue to explore this in community. \nAccessibility: \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid and mpox safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre: \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the centre if they are feeling any Covid-19 and/or mpox symptoms including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough\, chills and unusual spots\, scabs or ulcers. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.

Teddi and I will also share our own design ideas to ensure the project remains true and authentic to the trans+ and queer community. \nAbout the facilitators: \nThe event will be hosted by Teddi (she/her) and Rayanne (she/her)\, both Post-Grad Students in User Experience Design at the UAL. \nTeddi Wang\, is a transw oman from Taiwan\, who specialises in Branding and User Experience Design\, through her work she wants to give back\, uplift and connect with her community. \nRayanne\, is a cisgender woman from the UK\, who delivers digital projects for government departments and GOV.UK.
