We invite interested publics to join us on a drop-in basis for these playful sessions where we will experiment with audio, projection and performance. Each session will also open and close with a micro karaoke party in the gallery.

Please reach out to us at tearjerkersss@gmail.com if you have any questions. Visit tearjerkers.cargo.site for more info about the work/play sessions, including updates about each session and a growing archive of the project. 

1. What sounds like crying? (P.I): Wednesday, 19 February 2025, 1:00-4:00pm

   Join us in compiling a playlist of film clips, song and sound bites, other cultural references, and site-specific audio recordings of sounds that resemble crying, whether it be cries of mourning, joy or protest.

2. What sounds like crying? (P.II): Saturday, 22 February 2025, 1:00-4:00pm

   Drawing from our playlist of references, we will begin to imagine lyrics and a score for our karaoke song-that-sounds-like-crying. Access to Zoom recorders and Adobe Audition will be provided.

3. Let it all out: Saturday, 8 March 2025, 1:00-4:00pm

   Join us as we cry, wail and laugh through our karaoke song-that-sounds-like-crying and its accompanying video. In this session we will also discuss how to queer the boundaries between performers and audiences.

4. Performance Rehearsal: TBD

   The date of this final session will be determined collectively by those interested in joining in the rehearsal for ESLCE’s final performance to be held on 22 March
