Welcome to my online home.
You'll find further info about upcoming
projects, publications & releases, as well as
performance & workshop dates inside.



Culture is pivotal in our human lives. It is who we are as a people & society, it shapes our thoughts & perceptions, it is a marker of our history in a specific time & place. Without it, our world would

be mere bricks & mortar, our fellow man without empathy or understanding. Come out, support live events & connect with

others while you're at it! Till soon, Maryanne

SONIC TALA


SOUND - A UNIVERSAL SENSE: Poland, London, Germany, Australia. I'm excited to present a new workshop starting September 2018 for a broad age-range. How does hearing influence our mind, our perspective? Why do humans respond so profoundly to sound? We look at sound as a basic concept in our world: in music and language, in improvisation, in our daily lives, in the human body, in nature, in relation to society and its

historical events. We explore the frequencies present

in our universe as neuopsychological and neurosensory factors, how humans organise and communicate with sound, as well as how sound and music can be used as a developmental force in different community groups.

GLOBAL
EXPOSURE

Audiences are involved in interactive, high energy performances taking them around the world in a fusion of sounds. The programme has been designed to remain as flexible as possible for all venue sizes and needs. We will be touring this programme in Australia and Europe 2019.
