Tue 3 December, 7pm Venue: Greek Catholic Cathedral of St Vincent and Jacob, pl. Biskupa Nankiera 15 Admission free Concert as part of Voicencounters, practical seminar “Irmos” (gr. heirmos, ‘connection, song’) is an artistic anthropological project, the means and fulfillment of which is irmos, an orthodox spiritual practice realized in a contemporary socio-cultural space and embodied in contemporary artistic forms. The aim of the project is to renew the word, heal the personal territory of service and creativity, and gain a new practical knowledge of the rules of tradition, the canon, by purifying the motives for singing the irmos. Project leaders: Natalya Polovynka, Sergey Kovalevych  The Lviv Municipal Performance, Art Research and Educational Centre “Word and Voice” was founded in 2010. The impulse for its creation was the need to establish an Ukrainian school of live tradition, which would teach the practical use of knowledge of tradition and traditional techniques in contemporary theatre. The “Word and Voice” centre is a territory of new theatre, based on tradition, classic theatre and the ideas of Jerzy Grotowski, Klim (Volodymyr Klimenko) and Sergey Kovalevych. Our work focuses on words and voice. This is one of the possible paths of development and education and a new resource of artistic inspiration in our contemporary world in which we risk losing the notion of words and voice as a naturally given way of connecting us with God, the world and other people.
