Love Songs
in Motion
Sep 27 – Dec 20, 2026
A gathering that explores the cadence of the languages we love.
Come, explore the world of sound made visible! Bring a poem or love song in a language that means something to you (along with your favorite kitchen spice!), and see, touch, and smell the music’s energy.
Did you know?
The overall color of our voice changes by language!
Let’s explore this together. Pick any one participatory workshop this Fall. The idea is to integrate music and poetry from different languages with Cymatics – the science of visualizing sound frequencies into visual patterns.
Let’s stand in the fullness of our mother tongue and use our vowels and consonants to reveal exceptionally beautiful universes of geometric patterns and smells. Let’s leave behind a lingering echo of the sounds, words, and emotional resonances that make up the languages of our hearts. Bring the kids and elders in your lives!
