Sing My Own Song (3pm)

  • Workshop

The ‘Sing My Own Song Workshop’ welcomes individuals from all walks of life, offering a unique experience to explore the resonating power of music.

Drawing inspiration primarily from their personal “best playlist,” participants, donning headphones, immerse themselves in their chosen melodies and rhythms, allowing the beats to inspire and guide their hands. The workshop champions the principles of sustainability by blending the allure of music with the use of recycled materials, creating a harmonious symphony of creativity and environmental consciousness. This enriching session is not solely for artists or those fluent in English; it transcends language and age, focusing instead on the universal language of music.

With the healing power of music as its foundation, the workshop begins with a gentle guided meditation, setting the tone for introspection and creativity. Delving deep into their “best playlist,” participants express their musical experiences, not in notes or keys, but through abstract visuals like dots, spirals, and wavy lines. These visual interpretations eventually find their home on a Pringles tin, transforming it into an innovative speaker for phones. Beyond the hands-on activity, participants are given avenues to reflect on their relationship with music, documenting their introspections in a journal and optionally sharing their revelations with fellow participants.
