Starting off with a spectacular collaborative sound-making/spoken word workshop and performance by the band LAL, founded by Rosina Kazi and Nicholas Murray, Agnes launches the events for this year’s orientation week, welcoming new and returning students to campus!

Creating and recording a musical background with found sounds and our bodies (hands, mouths, feet!) as well as a poetry / spoken word / abstract word pieces, the workshop is both a collaborative process and an introduction to recording and sound creation. The workshop is open to all, regardless of previous experience (or no experience at all!) and each participant takes home an mp3 of the collective work created.

LAL has been performing and recording for over 20 years and has been conducting sound workshops all over the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). They provide workshops that utilize anti-oppression and feminist practices. Respect being key in how they work with community.
