Walking Choir is a short-film which traces a walk along the Kentish coastline, from Broadstairs to Margate. The Voicing Project community choir were given scores composed in response to the coastline and inspired by Irish Gaelic folk songs of pilgrimage. Deciphered collectively on the day, the soundscape unfolds as they walk along the North Sea Coast.
This short-film is playing in conversation with a live performance by the choir, taking place in (and around) the Main Hall on Saturday 18th.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
The Voicing Project
Voicing is a collaborative project by artists Noa Costello and Tomislav Latinovic, working across film, movement, and choral practices. We look for intersections between Irish/Slavic folk traditions and queer languages of intimacy, storytelling, and non-normative archives as tools for connection and critique. Central to the project is a free community choir, which functions as both an artistic method and a social structure. Rehearsals, workshops, and site-responsive sessions form the material basis for VOICING’s films, performances, and installations, allowing sound and movement to emerge collectively rather than through a single authorial voice.
