Calling Calling was an expanded vocal project that took place throughout 2023. It developed out of, and was led by, a group of Brunswick Club artists who came together through shared interests in working experimentally with the voice.
An extended group of vocal explorers from the wider Bristol creative community joined to learn new approaches and skills from each other, and from invited local, national and international artists, to explore a diverse range of vocal techniques, in order to work towards creating a new collaborative group performance.
The group have taken part in workshops with Alwynne Pritchard, and Hannah Silva, followed by a weekend residency at Arnolfini in September led by Yas Clarke, Shirley Pegna, and Jo Hellier at Arnolfini in early September to devise, and develop a group performance ‘Calling Calling: Moving in and out of Meaning’ for the event.
Our workshop programme was let by Bristol artists:
Dali de Saint Paul, Shirley Pegna, Tina Hitchens, Mr Hopkinson’s Computer & Phil Owen.
Made possible with support from Arts Council England, WEVAA & VASW.
