ReadyOrNot-Call-SINGERS-02-web

We have finished the first phase of our project, and collected almost 200 artworks in many styles, from folks of all ages across the world! These are now being assembled into our short film!

Now we want to add your voice!

https://elisewitt.com/web/ready-or-not/

“Ready or Not” imagines our human journeys, through the image of packing a magic suitcase. At first whimsical, like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag, the song also moves us to the journeys taken as forced migration, the refugee’s journey, packing quickly the things most precious, tangible and intangible, objects as well as memories.

Here's how your voice can become part of this project:

1) Have 2 devices.
2) Listen to Ready Or Not with headphones on your first device.
https://elisewitt.com/web/ready-or-not/
3) Sing and record on your second device.
4) To begin, clap along with the 8 clicks at the beginning of the recording.
5) Sing along in unison or harmony with the CHORUS.
6) Send .wav or .mp3 file. (Video is fine, but we won’t use visual.)
7) Email your recording to:
Art Director Jessica Lily – jessica.lily11@gmail.com

Deadline for sending your Recording is

THUR. DEC. 2, 2021

"Jenny Jenkins" celebrates creativity by artists aged 1-83, from around the world. I updated this traditional color song to reflect the important changes born of our times. It has a fun chorus and a beautiful video created by Jessica Lily.

Woody Guthrie's iconic song "This Land is Your Land" is one of our favorites at the Global Village Project. In this version we collaborated with Congregation Bet Haverim, chorus directed by Will Robertson and music director Gayanne Geurin.
