ADE 2024 - Belongalong

Unleash Your Senses: A Workshop for Immersive Connection and Play with Belongalong

“I felt like we were creatures… we were no longer humans”.  BELONGALONG, at its heart, seeks non-ordinary ways to find playful connection and presence with others.  A collective and connective multi-sensorial musical experience, Belongalong invites deep collaborative listening and an expansion of the senses by playing with sounds, images, and space.  Participants play the Belongalong instrument composed of 12 touch-sensitive sound-emanating boxes.  Their vibrations are felt in the body and immediately participants realise that they themselves are the essential medium of the experience.  Nothing comes to life without their collective intention.  

Through the use of evocative imagery, music and soundscapes, hosts Leyla de Muynck and Christopher Bowen guide the participants from the discovery of the instrument through a series of visual and sonic pieces creating a relational field that encourages collaborative listening, opening up space for others and a feeling of connection in an otherworldly exploration of community. 

Space is limited to 12 participants per slot
