SINGERS UNITED FLASHMOB – Community engagement in our home town!
“We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us.”
Jo Cox’s inspirational maiden speech to Parliament was widely shared and sparked the #MoreInCommon movement after she was tragically murdered.
Aneesa Chaudhry, a British Asian woman is passionate about the voice and how we can use it to make a positive difference in the world.
She trained as a Barrister, professional singer and vocal coach and is on a mission to do what she loves doing – that is empowering and encouraging people to use their voices to make a positive difference to the world.
Aneesa often tells her clients and students to think about the experience people have of them and asks how they want to be remembered?
She says: “I believe that together we are strong and building vocal confidence and community cohesion with our voices is a brilliant way to make a beautiful contribution to society.”
The aim of the Singers United Flashmob is to invite people to use their voices to do something fun, whilst wearing a t-shirt that raises the profile of a charity or cause they feel strongly about.
Everyone taking part is invited to attend in a two-hour workshop on Saturday, May 19 from 10am-12pm at the Brighthelm Centre, North Rd, after which there will be three flashmobs.
Two will take place in secret locations to be shared with those who register and one soon after the workshop at Jubilee Library where there is a Bird La Bird event taking place shortly after lunch as part of the IDAHOBIT celebrations. They will all be in close proximity to one another.
Participants will sing Keene’s Somewhere Only We Know and Only You and Aneesa will teach you the voice parts to the song with a few fun bits of choreography for surprised members of the public who will see the scene unfold.
The cost to take part is £20 per person for those able to pay OR Free to 5 members of every LGBT+ organisation that wishes to take part. You are welcome to make a donation of £50 from your group if you are able to do so but this is not a pre requisite.
