Open your lungs and feel the simple glow of singing alongside friends and strangers

Ocean Ornob is an artist who’s interested in the warm power that communal singing can have on the central nervous system. He’s created a short morning workshop that’s perfect for all voices — especially for those who’ve never been the first to grab the mic at karaoke.

You’ll be guided together through relaxation breathing and vocal warm-ups, into simple melodies and harmonisation. The progression of exercises is designed to create an atmosphere of open-heartedness and safety. You don’t need any musical skill or training. Just show up with your voice (and maybe a water bottle). Then ease into a space where you feel freer to express yourself and harmonise with others. Chances are you’ll head out into the rest of your morning embracing light and pleasant vibrations.
