"Join us after brunch for summer improvisations mixing movement, voice, violin and other sounds. Orchestrated by Julie Lassonde, this Sunday afternoon event will bring together Bri Clarke, James Knott, Julie Lassonde and Sonia Leung with their backgrounds in dance, music, performance art and theatre. Focused on compassionate listening and openness, this session will involve free and structured improvisations inspired by each artist, and celebrating the theme of friendship. We invite audience members to follow our spontaneous gestures and sounds, and share moments of connection and curiosity!
