Sound Sorcery 2024

The New Normal collective (supported by City of Sydney & The Bearded Tit) are proud to present...Sound Sorcery.

Do you travel in a body that is continuously silenced, excluded, and overlooked in live music spaces?

Jazz bores slowing your broom down?

Is the spice you bring to a witches brew too strong for the patriarchal palette?

Does music always have to be stripped of its magick in order to be consumable?

It's no coincidence that music - with its power to transcend - has been made inaccessible to those who actually have something important to say.

Quite frankly, we're sick of it, and we're sure you are too.

To break the hex we're starting at the place where voices can be heard for the first time, and connections can be conjured: The Jam.

We're brewing up a magickal concoction with the following ingredients:

• killer house band of women and gender diverse mofos

• featured artists from diverse backgrounds

• wheelchair accessible queer venue

• vibes, vibes, vibes

Instead of stifling your vulnerability, squandering confidence, and indulging in toxic competition, we want you to help us co-create a space where we celebrate difference and uniqueness.

Let the alchemy of Sound Sorcery turn your body into an instrument for change.
