  • Also-known-as Adoptee Forum – Sound Play: How Music Moves Us January 25, 2021

    In this 70 minutes online sound play, we will experience music through a series of games. We will investigate sound and emotion, dramatize movement, play with rhythm and vocalization, and reflect on the music that surrounds us. We will build self-awareness and understanding of how music helps us process our feelings, emotions and personal identity. No prior musical experience or knowledge is required.

    Some examples of what’s included in the online workshop:
    * Listening activities: linking individual sounds and music excerpts to our emotions
    * Sound and movement exercise—dramatizing physical responses to sound
    * Conductor + Orchestra activity—all participants engage in sound game to experience pattern shifts that occur in all music
    * Discussions based around each activity to explore parts of the music process

    *** The purpose of Also-Known-As adoptee forums are to create a confidential and safe space for adoptees to discuss personal topics. These forums are only open to adoptees. While we welcome community supporters, friends, and families of adoptees to many of our events, this event is closed to non-adoptees. ***
