Drone Circle

As the day draws towards evening, NYX invites audiences to gather in the rooftop space for a shared act of listening and sounding. The Drone Circle brings together the threads of First Breath: voice, body, architecture and encounter, into a sustained field of collective sound shaped by those present.

Guided by NYX vocalists, this participatory vocal workshop invites people of all experience levels and abilities to participate - singers and non-singers alike. Through a series of gentle, guided exercises working with breath, tone and attention, the group will build a layered sonic environment that unfolds in real time, co-creating evolving soundscapes and large-scale drone textures in response to the surrounding skyline and the shifting light of sunset.

As part of the opening of V&A East Museum, the Drone Circle offers a shared moment of arrival at the close of the day, an opportunity to gather and sound together. It invites participants to tune into one another and to the environment, contributing to a collective expression that is both ephemeral and held in common.

Filming and photography will take place at this event.
