High as a Kite’ is an initiative project to explore and stimulate the vocal and listening skills of and with children. The research includes a variety of experiences, inspirational visits and a self-created framework of references that stem from their practices in sound, music and textiles. During a series of residencies in Netwerk Aalst, Art Space Buda, Compass, etc, they develop modular ideas, which later in 2022 will lead to the workshop formats and other interactions they like to initiate. In their residence in Kortrijk Buda, Federico and Myriam work with listening, movement and textiles.
