25.01.2022 An interesting article on the health benefits of improvisation. SAO programs such as the Tree of Life are constructed around a well developed and researched approach to improvisation that is supports people to take risks in a fun and relaxed way.

21.01.2022 We thought it would be nice for those newly connecting to Sounds Across Oceans to share where it all started. The seeds for many of our programs were firmly planted in this initial intercultural music residency directed by SAO artistic director Dr Anthony Garcia. The program was facilitated by Khon Kaen University and featured students from both Thai classical, Thai folk and Western music streams learning how to collaborate through improvisation to create new music. Since this program SAO has introduced many new intercultural initiatives designed to support our evolving cultural, creative and social identity. #sao #intercultural #music #movement #art #wellbeing #education #philosophy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4AMXZk4O48

12.01.2022 The following article The Tree of Life: Ageing Artfully by SAO artistic director Dr Anthony Garcia shares background information on an innovative seniors arts program coming to Brisbane. He encourages us to remember we are all part of a community that is ageing and that we might consider how we engage and support the arts by providing meaningful creative programs that inspire original and authentic expression through improvised music and dance. #music #movement #dance #sao #sen#SAO #qldstategov https://www.linkedin.com//tree-life-ageing-artfully-dr-a/

11.01.2022 Teaching Artist Spotlight: Tree of Life Dance Director Sandi Woo Improvisation is at the heart of the SAO approach to community arts programming and Sandi Woo personifies the inspired teaching artist improviser. Her approach is wide open, embraces the moment, nurtures the individual and supports the collective. Sandi encourages workshop participants to express their own voice in a collective environment as she helps people shape new body movements in response to the space, t...he music and their emotions--to help them share the feelings and sensations they contain within--to develop a framework for self discovery and expression . The process generates trust, dispels fear and anxiety and helps people relinquish control of the rational/critical mind so they can discover the power of the inner creative soul. Are you ready to join Sandi and be part of The Tree of Life seniors music and movement program? The soulful program designed for seniors takes place every Friday for 8 weeks starting in October, and we can't wait to share the fun and joy of being creative with you.

07.01.2022 The Tree of Life Symbolism Across Cultures The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol found in many spiritual and mythological traditions across the world. Also known as the Cosmic Tree, the World Tree, or the Holy Tree, the Tree of Life dates back to the ancient Egyptians. Today it universally symbolizes wisdom, strength, protection, abundance, beauty, immortality, fertility and redemption. In the artistic context The Tree of Life symbolises creative interconnectedness, collabo...rative expression and the transcendent.

06.01.2022 And the Tree of Life journey has begun! Last week our inaugural Tree of Life music and movement initiative kicked off at the beautiful Nundah Memorial Hall. Teaching artists, workshop participants and young interns came together to improvise through their bodies and instruments. The process of collective improvisation through movement and music builds artistic relationships that deepen our sense of connectivity to one another and the world/spaces we inhabit. The program is tr...ansformative, supports people (artists and participants) to step into new creative territory, take risks and support one another to curate collective expressions of life in the moment! Thanks to dance director Sandi Woo and teaching artists Eleanor Streatfeild Alicia De La Fuente and Gabe Garcia for your creativity and passion! #treeoflife #music #dance #movement #seniors #qldgov #nundahmemorialhall #sao See more
