Nocny krąg

An open gath­er­ing for every­one who needs to take care of their sen­so­ry wellbeing. 

Life in a big city, for many peo­ple, comes with sen­so­ry over­stim­u­la­tion (noise, crowds, traf­fic jams, queues, cars), and with it stress and exhaus­tion. Mak­ing sounds releas­es endor­phins and stim­u­lates the vagus nerve, which gov­erns the func­tion­ing of the most vital organs in our body. We will learn to lis­ten to our body, to direct atten­tion inward. We will dis­cov­er how our voice sounds in har­mo­ny with oth­ers. We will explore its effect on oth­ers and on ourselves.

Dur­ing the ses­sion we will try to calm the sens­es, relax the body and steady the breath. Togeth­er we will per­form vocal exer­cis­es that will lead us into med­i­ta­tion and stillness. 

The vocal exer­cis­es will be based on sim­ple melodies and har­monies drawn from tra­di­tion­al East­ern Euro­pean folk songs.

Ses­sions will take place in par­tial darkness. 

The ses­sion will be led by the peo­ple behind the ini­tia­tive „Chór niemęs­ki” with the sup­port of a voice teacher.

Chór niemęs­ki is the flag­ship project of the activist col­lec­tive “4 Non Straights”. The main pur­pose of this ini­tia­tive is to pro­mote LGBTQIA+ art and cul­ture, to sup­port and cre­ate artis­tic actions and hap­pen­ings that edu­cate on the top­ics of inclu­siv­i­ty, equal rights, break­ing stereo­types around gen­der iden­ti­ty, com­bat­ing tox­ic mas­culin­i­ty, inter­nalised homo­pho­bia, bipho­bia, trans­pho­bia and enby­pho­bia, and to raise aware­ness of neurodiversity.
