O. Lab: Sing With Your Mouthful is an absurdist performance, led by vocalists and composers TiSiTi (Tara Reece, Ceola Tunstall-Behrens & Tisa World) in collaboration with Singing Club Rotterdam, an anti-choir for all voices. The performance invites the audience to take a seat among the performers and eat, sing, talk and break the rules over three courses of an evening banquet. As the dinner proceeds things get messy physically and sonically. Can you eat while singing? Can you gargle with sound? Can you sit still? Can you uphold dining conventions and etiquettes? What happens when you don’t?

Research question: How to co-compose with a collective (Singing Club Rotterdam)? Focus of composition is around themes of collective eating, sharing food, dining, etiquette and decency. We plan to work with community-building practices and play with the position of the audience within the work.
