A workshop with Khrystyna Kirik is an invitation to listen differently. Since 2022, she has led sessions in collective improvisation across Europe and Ukraine — in art spaces, schools, festivals, and residencies. Working with voice, movement, found objects, free-form poetry, and live electronics in Ableton Live, the group builds a collective soundscape together. Each session opens with listening and warm-up exercises, moves into live group performance, and stays close to what is quiet, tactile, and present.

The main idea of the workshop is to focus on listening and sensory perception to allow participants to express themselves freely and explore the world of sound in a contemplative and playful way in a label-free space for joint experimentation. This practice is intended to promote the appropriate attitude for extending receptivity to the entire space/time continuum of sound. This kind of receptivity is essential for creative activity and can be applicable to any discipline.
Workshop activities include exercises for enhancing bodily senses, singing, rhythmic exercises, improvisation with both acoustic and electronic instruments, unleashing creative fantasies, exploring imagery, and tapping into streams of consciousness.
Each workshop has a duration about 2 hours.
