This workshop is free of charge and open to everybody. It’s designed to show you that music can be made from anything by anyone!

The workshops will be held at some wonderful country town halls in our district. The Old Sunday School Hall in Braidwood NSW, The Majors Creek Recreation Ground Hall in Majors Creek, NSW, The Federal Hall in Araluen NSW, and The Tarago Hall in Tarago NSW. If you aren’t local, why not take a trip to any of the four workshops and discover some history and local village life.

Participants will be asked to fossick and collect something that makes a noise or sound, a found object, a piece of nature, some rubbish, anything they can find in the 10 minutes allocated to search the surrounding area of the workshop. Or bring something from home. It can be two things that you bang together, three things you shake together. Or anything you can think of!

On return to the space, musician and artist Kelly Sturgiss will help you weave these sounds into a group symphony. We will be hearing the music develop as we make it.

Participants will receive a mastered recording of the piece in the weeks following the workshop. The pieces will also be exhibited in at The Hive in Queanbeyan in March as part of the Project Alchemy Group Exhibition. You are all invited.

Fill out the form and let us know of your interest. That way we can keep you updated on everything and get a sense of numbers. It’s also fine to just turn up on the day, but we would love to plan if we can. The workshops will be held at some wonderful country town halls in our district. If you aren’t local, why not take a trip to any of the four workshops and discover some history and small town charms.

Hidden Sonics is part of a Project Alchemy, a series of cross disciplinary arts projects to build community connection across south-east Australia. The project is facilitated by award winning Canberra based Rebus Theatre and involves 15 artists from Bega Valley Shire, Eurobodalla Shire, East Gippsland, Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, and the ACT.

Project Alchemy is made possible thanks to funding from the Australian Government for the Black Summer Bushfire Grant Program. Rebus is also supported by Ainslie and Gorman Arts Centres and the ACT Government.
