Circu-tribe London

Circlesinging in Central London, open for all

Autumn 2023 dates: Sundays November 12 and December 10 , 12-13.30

We have began gathering monthly on a Sunday morning in Central London, somewhere in the lovely new area North of Kings Cross. There's plenty of sheltered outdoors spaces, but we have also been offered an indoors area at the beautiful Granary Building which hosts Central St Martins.

Circlesinging is an art form, but also a chance to get in touch with "the wisdom of the body", to come together, breathe together and sound together as a collective. This can lead to a sense of ‘tribe" with people we may never have met before, or help to create stronger vocal and interpersonal connections in an existing singing group or choir. Recent scientific research highlights the benefits of entrainment (many people together = a single beating heart). Singing in a circle for a long time can teach us to become better musicians. It can also become a way to learn about ourselves as singers and as human beings, to feel the connection with others. Circu-Tribe aims to create a safe vocal community and include singers who are less confident alongside others who might be more experienced. When you enter the circle, you are in a “Mistake free zone", as you will be held by the collective sound and feel that you belong to the tribe whatever your skills.

If you are an experienced singer, you‘ll gather new musical ideas and confidence to lead group singing in new ways. Circle Songs also strengthen musicianship, vocal blend, understanding of harmony and counterpoint, rhythmic precision, cohesion and mutual listening. 

As well as an in-depth experience of Circlesinging, Circu-Tribe can be a valuable tool for all singers and musicians, music and voice teachers and group facilitators, as it will expand their creative palette of melodic and rhythmic patterns from diverse musical traditions. These new musical ideas learned through a process of sharing can then be applied to enhance their own musical language.
