Mountains and Seas: Storytelling and Sound Workshop

Join us for a sound and storytelling workshop, where you will experiment with combining sound, storytelling, percussion, and empowerment to form a transformative creative experience.

Led by Xie Rong (aka Echo Morgan), multidisciplinary artist and co-creator of upcoming theatre show Mountains and Seas – Song of Today 山海 · 今日之歌 *, and Beibei Wang, percussionist and composer, also working on Mountain and Seas, you will use the 5 elements of metal, wood, water, charcoal, and soil as your creative framework.

Xie Rong says:

"I first met Beibei through her Water concert.
I painted Ice on her face.
I watched her blow air into a plastic bag, suffocating with the pollution we create every day.
I saw her make rocks sing and ink cry.

In her drumming I discovered strength and encouragement for my own search for compassion and justice. She shows me how elements and nature can speak — paper that sings like a bird, branches that drum like sticks, breath that flows through a tube like birth itself.

From the Mountains to the Seas, I am so excited to create the Song of Today with Beibei! I hope people can join us and witness our wonders through metal, wood, water, charcoal, and soil — referencing Beibei’s outstanding Wuxing (Five Elements) concerts and the creative relationship we share, always guided by Nature."

This workshop is suitable for all levels.

We look forward to experimenting with you!

*'Mountains and Seas – Song of Today 山海 · 今日之歌' will be on at Omnibus Theatre from Tues 2nd to Sat 6th December 2025. More info and tickets here.
