Wednesday 25 Sept 7pm and then every first and third Wednesday in North London (Oct 2 and 16) and alternate weeks at a different venue TBA in South London – starting very soon!

An evening of spontaneous polyphony, movement & rhythm open for all. The circle is an open community where everyone is welcome and all voices matter. Inspired by Bobby McFerrin’s Circle Songs, Musica Do Circulo (Brazil) and all the singing & dancing peoples from around the world.

An opportunity to take part in a musical tapestry created in-the-moment, to sing, move and resonate together.
