Project
Ritual and Ceremony was once part of our daily life. Within the structure of ritual we could connect to members of our community and to the spirit of the space we inhabit as well as letting the space inhabit us.

My Project wants to spark:

Non-hierarchal  music along the streets of Westend

Have up to 40 locals ringing tuned handbells at midday everyday along Boundary Street. This will spark others to join in  and create other sounds that fills the whole street but has no leader. The bells will at first be rung by shopkeepers who work along street.

Budget

4x 25 Brass bells 279 each  Shipping $42 per set     Total $1284

Promotion and Printing cost         (est)                         Total  $200

Total Cost                                                                                   $1484

In summing up I want to make the suburb of Westend sing, but for it to come from the people who live their , Bells can be played by anyone. Over time as people get used to it others will join in and it will become more then just bells being rung , singing dancing and drawing on the street . I want to walk down the street one day and hear this amazing song coming from everywhere !
