TRANS CHORUS is a vocal exploration space ran for and by trans and gender non conforming people. Using embodied practices, we come together to revel in the sounds that come naturally to us, embracing that our voices may sit outside of gendered expectations. Routed in improvising and oral traditions of sharing music, TRANS CHORUS aims to co-create a songbook that represents the experiences of trans and gender non-conforming folks. No previous experience of singing or vocal improvising is required, just a
willingness to listen and respond with openness and kindness.
TRANS CHORUS is led by vocalist and music well-being facilitator, margomool, with the model of bringing in artists from other practices to facilitate sessions. Coming from
a self-taught background, margo has cultivated their practice through improvisational
spaces and performing. They have shared lineups with the likes of Sarathy Korwar and
Laura Misch, and have appeared on stages such as Love Supreme Jazz festival. Driven
by a belief that everyone should have space to musically express themselves, margo
facilitates accessible sonic spaces, specialising in supporting people who are neurodiverse
and or transgender. They resonate with creative embodiment practices that nourish
individual and collective relationships with the vocal body and artistic curiosity.
