What are you complaining about?

Complaints Choir Workshops, Wednesday evenings 7 to 8:30 p.m. Free
 

The Victoria Complaints Choir wants to know. Through a series of workshops, rehearsals and flash performances you are invited, nay, challenged to join the Complaints Choir and air your grievances in glorious vocal sound. Using vocal mimicry, choral textures, body percussion and singing, the Complaints Choir will transform your gripes and deliver them to Victoria. The Complaints Choir is an international movement that gives the term Town Crier new meaning and tests of the power of a new kind of populist song. The Victoria Complaints Choir is led by composer Tina Pearson and welcomes anyone who wants to participate – whether or not you can sing.

The Complaints Choir will also be making Complaints Banners to be flown during Complaints Choir performances and displayed at Open Space. A Complaints Choir DVD documenting the project will be made by media artist Grace Salez.
 Complaints Choir Workshops will take place Wednesday evenings March 3 through May 5 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Open Space, 510 Fort Street, 2nd floor. The flash performances will take place in public spots during the week of May 3, 2010 and at the Open Space Voice++ Festival. And it's all Free!

If you wish to join the Complaints Choir, or simply are chomping at the bit to have your complaints aired, send an email to  victoriasoundworkshop_at_gmail.com with the subject heading COMPLAINTS CHOIR or send your complaints by postal mail to Open Space, 510 Fort Street, Victoria, BC, V8W 1E6 with COMPLAINTS CHOIR marked on the envelope.
  
The Complaints Choir is supported by Arts Based Community Development, a program of the BC Arts Council, KOTO Restaurant.
