Layers of creativity. Layers of sound. Layers of meaning.

“Immerse yourself in a multi-sensory, multi-medium exploration of the role layering plays in creative production. This event superimposes layered vocals from theatre devising to medieval chants and contemporary rounds, the visual arts, and the evocative power of layered soundscapes.

Join practitioners from Southwark Playhouse along with visual artist Constança Saturnino, vocalist Vivien Ellis, and musician Gawain Hewitt as they guide you through a day of interwoven creativity. Engage in visual arts workshops, immerse yourself in layered vocal experiences, and witness the creation of dynamic soundscapes using traditional instruments and digital tools. Experience how each artistic element accretes with the others creating, over the course of the day, a rich and resonant whole. Discover the interplay between different creative mediums and the overarching theme of "layering" as the day unfolds.

Free and Open to All.

Whether you can come for one session or many …

Bring your ideas. Bring your layers!”
