SOUND THE COLLECTIVE SCREAM!!
While there are as many reasons to scream as there are screamers - anger, surprise, joy, pain, and pleasure are but a few - each screamer has a unique sound and motivation for wanting an unchecked release of emotion. As research can support, screaming is good for your health but may also stress out others if nearby. So, for the best results, pick a place that won't bother anyone or go ahead and disturb unapologetically. There are many options! Let us hear what makes you scream. We welcome you to the collective and your one-of-a-kind approach screaming.

Each screamer will be presented as a soloist and simultaneously part of the collective voice for this project. THE COLLECTIVE SCREAM will culminate in a symphony, a digital recording of our voices woven and layered together in an exchange of harmonic and dissonant energy.
