Canadian artist Misha Glouberman is particularly good at organizing groups of people to make unusual noises together. At Southern Exposure, Glouberman presents TERRIBLE NOISES FOR BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, a participatory sound performance involving you, the audience. For this one night performance, Glouberman directs and leads audience members to create unusual sounds together through improvised behavior using only the voice. Glouberman promises “a lot of yelling, a certain amount of running around and also some really quiet parts," and hopes to create an audible environment that will be exciting, alarming and sometimes beautiful.

This is a fully participatory event, with no spectators. You don’t have to be a musician or singer to take part, or have ever done anything like this before. If however, you are not one for unusual or experimental sounds and noises you may want to reconsider or you may just want to take the leap.
