SoundHoppers

SoundHoppers Seniors launched in Manchester this Spring. A new sonic arts programme for older people in Tameside, exploring sound and wellbeing.

Taking part in deep listening, sound making, recording and reflection, participants will develop practical skills and learn about different sound art themes.

We are working with Age UK and Holy Trinity Church and Community Centre. At the end of the project, we will host a celebration listening event sharing a collective soundscape created with the groups.

It’s an exciting project for Modus Arts, working with a new audience, to see how sound art interplays with wellbeing, and what we can learn about the hearing differences of older citizens.

The project is facilitated by Vicky Clarke and Hayley Suviste.

SoundHoppers Seniors is supported by the Robin Estill Fund, Action Together.
