Day of Arts - Body percussions & vocals (Workshop)

Art has long been a means to express and perceive universal values of beauty and harmony by finding an expression to unite opposites, like light and darkness, sounds and silences or movement and stillness. And the artist, like the philosopher, finds a way to make the invisible visible or perceivable, whether in paintings, sculptures, music, dance, poetry and so much more.

Join us for an afternoon in the search for Wisdom through Philosophy & Art.

Your body is an instrument, let’s play!

From 3pm ‘Making your own sistrum’ (Mini-workshop ,€5)

The sistrum is an ancient, ceremonial instrument used in Egypt and even before that.

Plutarch said. “The sistrum makes it clear that all things in existence need to be shaken, or rattled about, and never to cease from motion but, as it were, to be woken up and agitated when they grow drowsy and torpid.

Join in to make this mysterious instrument and take it home with you.
