fem* voice circle (2024-25)

COLLECTIVE PRACTICE GROUP

by fem* voice kollektiv October 2024-June 2025

fem* voice circle

fem* voice circle is a practice space for exploring the resources in bodies, voices and imagination as creative and transformative forces.

In the format of monthly group meetings, we move through exercises and reflections that can give rise to songs, gestures or choreographies exploring the presence of the poetic and political in our daily lives. We will share stories and micro-political strategies for bringing about changes in our lives, communities and the existing unjust social conditions. fem*voice circle draws on the spirit of the practices of collective singing and dancing to address and transform everyday struggles, understanding itself besides the neoliberal product or goal-oriented logic as a space of collective care and encouragement, fostering imagination, reflection, sensibility, connection, creativity and experimentation.

f*vc is aimed at women, inter-, trans-, non-binary people, fluid, complex, migrant, queer bodies and identities, with different forms or abilities. Within fem*voice circle we practice collective responsibility for creating an anti discriminatory and anti hierarchical space.

During the sessions we will propose impulses for exploration and reflection involving simple rhythm exercises, body percussion, somatic work, imagination exercises or body work. The experiences of the bodies, the expression of the voices and their own stories serve as material for exchange and learning. Together we reflect on aspects of our personal and collective struggles and use the resources of our bodies, voices and imagination to respond to them.
