Interested in ancient voice practices? And to make your own voice shimmer and vibrate? Do you enjoy spending time in the warmth of a group? Then join Open Club Zaghareed!
The Zaghareed or youyou is a loud, sharp trill or ululation usually used by women in North Africa, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. The cry has many different names depending on the region, culture or country it comes from, such as Zaghareed in Arabic-speaking countries, Kel in Iran, Irrintzi in the Basque country, or Zilgit in Kurdish community, etc. Because of diaspora, migration and globalisation, the youyou are all over the world.
OPEN CLUB ZAGHAREED will be led by Caroline Daish and Hoda Siahtiri. Together, you will discover the pleasure and joy of having a voice and making it loud with vibrations... Respecting traditions and heritage, Club Zaghareed is also an opening for new meanings and manifestations. There is eating, talking, voices are warmed up and simple improvisational exercises lead to surprising forms to make the voice sizzle and vibrate.
Interested? Then come to from the Open Club Zaghareeds in June or September and book your place/date on which you want to participate at newpolyphonies@gmail.com.
Those who want to continue after the introduction can possibly join a performance later! (fortnightly rehearsals from mid-September 2023 to January 2024 - more info later)
