Do you want to increase productivity?
Is your staff motivated enough?
Are you passionate about team work?
Do you want to explore staff creativity?
Are you serious enough about having fun?

If the answer is Yes to any of these questions, then the Balloon Orchestra Workshop (BOW) is for you!

BOW, the Balloon Orchestra Workshop is one of our audience development programmes aiming to engage and bring staff together across age, and cultural background within companies. It is designed for medium to large organizations across any sector in special to support individuals to express their voice and explore collaboration and active listening. The only target is to finish a collective composition and not being afraid of performing live . We use a unique graphic notation system using basic geometric shapes as well as other simple games as a starting point.

We explore in detail the natural limitations  of a balloon as  a source of sound  in order to break preconceptions about what is possible or not. As any tool we will discover how to make the best use of our imagination. Be ready to explore and try new things, new thinking and finally create new rhythmic compositions in a very short time. Moreover, you will be able to share the audio (or video) recording with your friends and social networks.

Welcome to the Balloon Orchestra!
