CHANT-I-N-G @ DIM THINGS
What is it?
Chant-i-n-g is about connecting one’s vocal vibration to something greater than oneself as opposed to singing, which is more about personal expression. When we allow ourselves to let go and make a continuous vocal sound with the only intention being to connect with the other vibrations around us, a liberating and very communal feeling can be felt by all.
Who is this for?
Anyone. Absolutely no musical training or knowledge is required. This is not a concert with a performer-audience dynamic. Everyone is welcome to participate as much as they feel comfortable with and be a part of the chanting.
Why?
For the relaxation of the mind and body through communal and Universal vibrations. And because it feels so good.
20hr - Chanters with no musical experience
Creating a safe space to lose the concepts of “being in tune” and other distracting and inhibiting ideas and start viewing the voice as a vibration maker capable of many sounds. It is a place to open up slowly to sharing one's own vibrational voice in a group setting. The session will start with a short vocal warm-up and vocal techniques and pro-tips that can be applied in the chant session. Experienced chanters are welcome to join also..
21hr - Chanters with Musical experience
Creating a safe space where a musician can forget all of their training in musical form, systems or scales and view one’s voice as a vibration maker capable of many sounds. It is a place to open up slowly to sharing one's own vibrational voice in a group setting. There is the wonderful possibility that these sessions could turn into harmonious angelic choirs due to the capacity of the ears involved. Chanters from the first session are very welcome to stay and join in.
What would a chant session look like?
Approximately 55 to 60 min.
