Onome
Vocal Play & Holistic Well-Being
About
Onome designs and leads experiential workshops for a wide variety of audiences internationally at colleges, corporations, cultural centers, and retreats. She guides groups to confidently wield the power of their imaginations, and foster creative fellowship with each other through mindfulness practices, relational games, and vocal play.
As a vocalist and educator, Onome incorporates improvisation into her practice as a tool for creative fulfillment and personal development.
She brings over twenty years of experience in expressive arts facilitation, across a diverse range of programs for both youth and adults. She has partnered with numerous organizations as an artist-in-residence, teaching artist, and facilitator, including the United Nations, Madison Youth Choirs, Grace Episcopal Church, Teachers College-Columbia University, Juilliard, Música do Círculo in Brazil, Teatro Portapotese in Italy, and Bobby McFerrin's CircleSongs retreat at Omega Institute.
Her immersive group vocal rituals include singing circles, concerts, poetry readings, panel discussions, experimental theater, and sound installations. She has led improvisational vocal gatherings at hundreds of venues, created vocal film scores, and recorded soundscapes for podcasts and guided meditations.
Onome's work serves holistic-oriented individuals committed to moving beyond fear and stuckness to emotional freedom and fulfillment, expressive arts enthusiasts whose souls are deeply nourished by community vocal rituals, and organizations engaged in building thriving cultures of connection through experiential learning in the workplace.
She is a partner artist at Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute, where she contributes her performances and trainings across their vast educational programming spectrum.
