CLASS DESCRIPTION

Applications CLOSED

Urban Symphony will investigate the continuum of Harmony and DisHarmony in the urban environment of Valletta, and question how the movement of the collective - the performing community as well as the people in the city - connect and engage with the city. Taking the symphonic structure as a container, the community collective will experiment with the resonance of the urban environment in Valletta. The performative language will comprise Movement, Voice, and musical Instruments that take inspiration from the Rhythms, Architectural Characters, and the Visual and Sonic structures in Valletta.
