Join us in the chapel for a two-hour sound and movement workshop led by NYX movement director Imogen Knight and NYX composer Sian O’Gorman
Join us in the chapel for a two hour immersive workshop led by Imogen Knight, movement and embodiment director of NYX, and NYX composer and music director Sian O’Gorman.
Drawing on NYX’s pioneering practice which brings together choral expression, electronic sound, and somatic movement, this participatory session invites you into an exploration of voice and body as sites of memory, care and connection. Imogen Knight’s work centres on collective embodiment and the politics of presence, creating spaces where participants can access strength, vulnerability and solidarity through guided movement. Alongside this, Sian O’Gorman’s approach to vocal composition and improvisation encourages deep listening, intuitive sound making and the transformative potential of shared resonance.
Through gentle facilitation, guided movement sequences, vocal exploration and immersive listening exercises, participants will explore what it means to move and be heard, to sense the tremor of your own voice and the vibrations of others, and to be both held by and dissolved into collective sound. The workshop reflects NYX’s wider artistic ethos, one that blurs the boundaries between performer and audience, individual and ensemble, sound and sanctuary.
Open to singers and non singers of all ages, this is an inclusive and welcoming space. No previous experience is needed, only curiosity and a willingness to listen.
Discover Miseris Succurrere Disco, the second exhibition by Fitzrovia Chapel’s inaugural Curators in Residence. Following Souvenir, this powerful free installation explores empathy, loss and collective care through an immersive experience of sound, light and atmosphere. Explore the exhibition
ABOUT
NYX is a collective of experimental vocalists and electronic artists, led by Composer Sian O’Gorman and Creative Producer Philippa Neels. With roots in diverse musical and creative disciplines – from opera and choral traditions to sound design, visual arts, and experimental electronics – NYX brings together a community of artists united by their commitment to exploring new sonic frontiers.
A self-managed collective, NYX has performed at London Design Festival, the Pompidou Centre, Rewire Festival, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Roundhouse, and Dark Mofo. Their 2020 collaborative album Deep England with Gazelle Twin was named one of The Guardian’s top ten contemporary albums, and they received Film London’s Breakthrough Talent Award in 2021. They also contributed to the Diablo IV Official Soundtrack and their first TV score for the BBC and Bad Wolf’s Dope Girls was released in early 2025.
Centred around care, connection, and collaboration, the collective creates immersive sonic landscapes that traverse the full spectrum of human emotion – from the depths of grief to ecstatic joy. Their work balances ritualistic intensity with playful exploration, offering audiences a transformative experience to ground themselves in the power of sound and embodiment. Drawing on influences from psychoacoustics, somatic practices, and experimental sound design, NYX operates at the intersection of composition and improvisation.
