Join us tomorrow afternoon at DRAW Space for De-Choiring: Presenting an Archive. Looking back over two years of De-Choiring, Temporary Position shares an archive of ideas, resources and recordings. De-Choiring is a practice for exploring vocalisation through alternative methods of score making. The archive will be presented as an installation for one afternoon at DRAW Space giving time to explore the ephemera of De-Choiring happenings. Beyond this moment of reflection the archive also exists as a handbook to bring De-Choiring to new communities. 2:00pm — 5:00pm 25 August 2024 DRAW Space, Newtown Eora Sydney
