Join our next F*Choir Open Session with Bianca Stephens exploring embodied sound and joy.
This open session will be led by Bianca Stephens (Assistant Choir Leader). We want to create space to warm up our voices, take them on a vocal and physical journey, play and explore.
We want to bring you some F*Choir magic ✨ We will be singing little tasters of some of the tunes F*choir are currently singing. It's also an opportunity to take up space and vocally ground yourself and really listen to to the beauty of singing in a group.
Collective singing from 7-9pm with a tea break.
Doors open at 6:45pm to get settled.
Who’s it for?
It’s for you. Whoever the you of that you is, it’s for you. It's for trans, queer, black and brown, disabled and all marginalised identities. Come as you are, bring what parts of yourself you are willing to, and be open to hearing the noise you make in a chorus of voices. No experience is necessary, no terrifying 'please sing on your own now' moments or auditions of any kind. There is no end goal, no perfect summoning of what we will achieve, our voices will lead us and we will get to where we need to be together.
We prioritise places for Black and brown and trans folks in these sessions. Email wearefchoir@gmail.com for a free ticket.
Who is leading it?
Bianca is a theatre maker and musician. You can see them both in Jenny's punk choral musical WILD MIX. This open session will start with both artists opening up how they both want to encourage, develop and experience their music practice together in a bid to experiment with choral voices.

Who is F*Choir?
F*Choir is a queer-led, all genders community choir. We use communal singing as a restorative, liberatory practice - keeping us connected to ourselves, to one another, and warm to revolution. Rooted in interdependence and solidarity, we build community, nurture our minds, bodies and souls, and claim the right to our voices as historically marginalised and excluded people. We sing urgent songs from pop, R&B, punk, experimental art, and liberation music traditions by boundary-pushing queer, women, trans and non-binary musicians - to grow in skill, imagination, and artistic power.
