The Plank is an open community group where we explore many aspects of free improvisation and group playing. The sessions consist of some structured activity and some free play. We welcome artists of other mediums to respond within the space, or those that want to be passive within the space.The 2023 programme has been supported by The Ranworth Trust and as a result we have been able to invite a number of guest artists to lead sessions, and make use of a variety of different venues.
This session will be led by Faradena Afifi, focussing on Healing Sounds.
Faradena Afifi: Founder of The Noisy Women Present, and The Noisy People’s Improvising Orchestra, Fara is also an Initiator, Connector and Performer. Faradena is a person with neurodiversity who has mixed Afghan/British heritage.
She is a T’ai Chi Chuan practitioner/instructor, folk singer and improvising community musician who plays bowed string instruments, piano and percussion. She also specialises in healing music and T’ai Chi-based exercises for people with learning differences and brain injuries/conditions.
This session is held at Hungate medieval church, Princes St, Norwich NR3 1AE. Ample chairs, tables and power outlets are available. Unfortunately there are no toilet facilities due to recent vandalism, however St Andrews Brewhouse is a 2 minute walk away with accessible loos. The church is fully accessible but has no dedicated parking. On street parking is available on Princes Street (pay and display and short stay free bays).
