Tomorrow @ The Ol’ Factorie Studio - Upstairs in the Mall Arcade
Sunday, 1:30pm
Join Pip Ryan for a free taster of her offering for Black Gully Festival- The Rhizomatic Chorus.
In this emergent ritual space, dubbed the underworld, we will state-shift through a guided process leading to somatic–vibratory–polyphonics.
Pip will be playing with the metaphor of the subterranean, horizontal stem systems of the rhizome (as explored by Deleuze and Guattari), alongside the buzzing, whole-body hum of the Green Grocer cicada (Cyclochila australasiae). These cicadas descend underground for seven years before emerging transformed.
Together, we’ll explore a body-led practice to widen the psyche and traverse the spaces between, where new possibilities arrive in the unseen gaps.
✨ What to expect:
– Guided meditation
– Mostly lying down or sitting
– Optional sound-making
– Mats provided
– Free event
This is a free taster session ahead of Black Gully Festival on Saturday, November 8 (sessions at 10:30am & 2:30pm).
