Communitas Workshops

  • Free

The annual ritual of Communitas is officially kicking off again. It's the SHOUSE-led mass-musicking event where everyone's in the band, including you. And this year, it's even bigger.

Head to one these workshops to help create and craft the songs you'll all be singing at Melbourne Town Hall.

What to expect

We’ll be learning three simple, powerful songs. No experience needed. Just bring your voice and your vibe. If you have an instrument, whatever it is, bring it along. If you don't or are instro-curious, there will be some for you.

These workshops are for all. They're happening in Brunswick, Newport and Geelong and they go for an hour to hour-and-a-half.

There’s space to stand out or blend in. If you joined us last time, we need you back. You know the magic. Help us build it again. There’ll be singing. There’ll be moving, there’ll be a little chaos and a lot of collective joy.

What to bring

  • Your instrument of choice (if you have one)

  • Dress to be comfortable and able to move
