workshops and performance
Tara Fatehi

Voice and dance artist Tara Fatehi will be on residency at Transmission Gallery, developing a new performance project. With an interest in multi-lingual and multivocal performance, Tara is leading three sessions of collective talking, singing, whispering, and moving (if you’re so inclined). Plus an opportunity to participate in a public performance on 18th Feb.

Testing models for coexistence through active listening and voicing, the workshops will explore challenges of sharing space, thoughts, and feelings using performative tools. Tara will bring elements from her practice in vocal delivery, performative text, relaxed singing and writing, combined with using our bodies in performance.
