Amen Break: Sacred Spaces, Secular Beats & Modern Rave Rituals
Description
How do raves, parties and live music events act as contemporary rituals? In what ways do music venues act as contemporary cathedrals, offering a new form of sanctity and community for today's generation? Can the shared experience of live music, with its emotional and psychological dynamics, serve as a contemporary form of ritual in a secular world? How do afterparties contribute to the overall narrative of live music as a modern ritual, and what impact do they have on the long-term memories and bonds formed between participants? As live music evolves into a global, interconnected ritual, how do we balance the richness of local cultural expressions with the potential for global homogenisation? How can live music events become more inclusive and reflective of the diverse tapestry of human society, ensuring that they serve as true communal rituals?
