The Art of Lament: Finding the Voice in Grief

Before grief became something largely experienced in private, mourning could be communal, vocal and heard. This creative workshop explores the Irish tradition of caoineadh (keening) and how voice, breath, sound and repetition can give expression to loss when words are not enough. No previous musical or singing experience is needed and taking part in the vocal exercises is entirely optional. A gentle, creative exploration of an ancient tradition and what it might still teach us about mourning today
