Participate in visiting artist Aine Nakamura's artist talk and workshop on the possibilities and potentialities of voice and body, organised by The Listening Biennial - Singapore in partnership with LASALLE College of the Arts McNally School of Fine Arts

“I started to generate my art form through a few experiences that shifted my view and my listening. One of them was this. I was asked to introduce myself without making sounds. It was snowing outside. I moved my body slowly. I realized I was listening not only to the sound of the room but more so to the sound outside the window, imagining the world outside, and then listening to myself, embracing myself in it. I began to listen to songs in body, and I continue to do so. In addition, performance experiences and a few vocal, physical and psychological injuries helped me search what sensing, listening and art-making can be. I would like to spend time with the participants to think about the possibilities and potentialities of voice and body, and art. Being able to hold and be together in fragility is a strength, I believe. I will talk and give a few work exercises with a hope to learn together about what it means to create a space for beings and feelings, and how we might imagine and evolve for relations even at this crisis of the world.”

On behalf of our friends at ArtsWok Collaborative:

What can we do to care for ourselves, our peers, and the communities we engage with? How might reflective practice strengthen self-awareness, deepen our understanding of others, and facilitate continuous learning?
If these questions pique your interest, join us at AWGS #25 “Exploring Care Through Reflective Practice”! Through guided activities with experienced speakers (Dr Regina De Rozario and Dr Michael Tan) and conversations with like-minded peers, we’ll explore how the act of reflection, whether on our own or collectively, can help us re-focus ourselves and the work we do with communities.
