---NEW JOURNEYS AFTER A SUMMER BREAK---

You are invited to join Uran for a one of a kind vocal improvisation practice on Zoom every Saturday at 11:30-12pm UK Time. The intention is to co-create a free singing space where we can connect, release and recharge through our voices. It is called a vocal improv space shuttle because each session is a journey to uncharted vocal territory while being contained in musical and workshop structures that provide safety. 

The plan is simple: we warm up, we play a quick vocal improv game and we improvise over live looping music crafted in the moment by Uran, using voice and loop station.

This event is open to all levels from complete beginners to seasoned improvisers. Except the part where we play a vocal improv game you will be muted, improvising within the comfort of not being heard by anyone else. There will be moments when you will be invited to unmute and share your voice with others, if you wish to do so.

Each session takes 30 min and the fee is £6 per session. You can book sessions individually or buy a monthly pack for £15. There are also supporter tickets available for those who have the means and would like to support Uranian Spacelines.

CAPTAIN'S NOTE: Please arrive on time as this is a shared journey and we don't want to leave anyone behind in the space vacuum.

Best way to enjoy this is through earphones or headphones but don't worry if you don't have access to such - it does help with noise issues though. Also if you turn on Original Sound for Musicians on Zoom we will hear each other better. 

Event link will take you to the Zoom session. The waiting room will open 5 min before the session and we will promptly start at 11:30 AM. 

If you have purchased the monthly pack you can use the Zoom same link for each session during the month.

Sessions will run every Saturday in October.
