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 & language, improvisation, our daily lives, the human body, nature, in relation to society & its

historical events. We explore the frequencies present

in our universe as neuopsychological & neurosensory factors, how humans organise & communicate with sound, as well as how sound & music can be used as developmental forces in various community groups.
