Soundscapes enter next phase, including being celebrated in art

  Regular visitors to the Labyrinth and Art Centre may have noticed that the bits and pieces we have had around the seating at the labyrinth to encourage visitors to experiment and play with sound have been moved into our nearby storage chests. This marks the end of our initial experimentation with sound, and the start of the next phase of working to expand our creativity and willingness to play, and sharing it with the larger community through explorations with sound and resonance.

Future developments will probably take us in several directions. We want to create smaller sound instruments within the labyrinth itself that can be played while walking the labyrinth, possibly with the support of a RADF Grant.  We also plan to offer half or full day workshops on creating innovative soundscapes when we can experiment with our the collection of interesting items, and work towards developing sustainable instruments that will enhance the Labyrinth.  We would also like to use the labyrinth and soundscapes to help people explore their creativity, and the joy of play.

In addition, Larysa, Joyce and Glenys, along with several other helpers have been slowly creating a mural on the courtyard wall opposite the Boardroom (see above).  With an overall concept of Peace, the mural  celebrates our personal journeys from a structured world to accepting a more fluid universe, and also the connections between the many creative activities at the Centre and the evolving creativity of the labyrinth and its soundscapes.  It is still very much a work in progress, and if you would like to help it grow, or have any suggestions, we would love to have your help.  We have been painting mainly Monday mornings - but this varies a bit, so please check with us that we will be there.  Next painting day is tomorrow, Thurs 2 May.

Please also remember our regular Tuesday morning walking and silent meditation at the labyrinth 7 am.  Everyone welcome!!

Enjoy the richness of the sounds in your lives,

Joyce (0439329334), Larysa (0438378294) and Glenys
