VoCreation (Former Project A – A voice journey) is an artistic company founded by composer, singer, and community artist Maia Steinberg (UY/NL/PL).
We design innovative, human-centered artistic experiences at the intersection of vocal arts, interdisciplinary creation and social change. Our work creates spaces for listening, exchange, and co-creation always placing community and the human voice at the center.
At the heart of our work there is a simple belief:
You belong.
Your voice matters.
And together, we can create something bigger.

INTERDISCIPLINARY PERFORMANCES
Our interdisciplinary performances bring together multiple artistic disciplines, always beginning with vocal art as the starting point. These creations explore different social themes and open spaces for connection within ourselves, the others and the world around us.
VOICES OF THE EARTH
How can songs reflect on the connection Human-Earth Earth?
VOICES OF THE EARTH is a project umbrella that explores how intangible heritage such as stories and songs can inform our relationship with the concept of “Earth”. First created as a street performance in 2023, the project is now evolving into multiple formats: a solo performance, two community-based performance formats, and participatory experiences for audiences.
The community part of the project has recently been premiered in Schouwburg Tilburg (2025), and is going to travel to different cities in 2026.
EJE – INCLUSIVE OPERA BALLET
How can opera reshape our understanding of disability and inclusion?
EJE is an inclusive ballet-opera written and composed by Maia Steinberg (composer) and Alicia Dogliotti (dramaturgy), in Uruguay. The project blends vocal music and inclusive dance in a natural and spontaneous way, making it a pioneering work in its country of origin, Uruguay, across the continent and within the opera field.
The story is inspired by real events, although its characters, situations, and settings are crafted through genuine fiction.
EJE premiered in 2025, in the Auditorio Nacional Adela Reta, Montevideo, Uruguay.
SAVE THE FLOWERS
What if flowers gave up on Earth?
SAVE THE FLOWERS blends classical singing, AI-driven visuals, and plastic flower sculptures to imagine a future where the flowers decide to leave the Planet Earth. The performance explores the fragile bond between nature and humanity, urging us to reconnect before it’s too late.
Premiered in Tilburg, the Netherlands, in 2024.
Featuring Maia Steinberg (voice) and Martien Maas (piano). Rewarded with the Bioeconomy Art Competition (2025).
PACHAMAMA: AN ODE TO MOTHER EARTH
What does it mean to truly connect with the essence of nature?
PACHAMAMA: An ode to Mother Earth is a performance that intertwines soundscapes, binaural beats, dance, and ancestral-inspired songs to explore the bond between humanity and the Earth.
It invites audiences on a meditative journey through the elements of nature.
Premiered at Theaterfestival Boulevard in Den Bosch, August 2024.
Featuring David Bello Arcos (Saxophone), Laura Méndez (Dance), and Maia Steinberg (Singing, various instruments).

The wellbeing song club
Songs as pathways to wellbeing
In these workshops, participants embark on a journey that blends meditation, sound healing, voice liberation exercises, and inspirational songs (sacred, medicine, wellbeing or traditional) centered around a specific theme each time.
We use the power of the voice to promote expression and forge new inner & outer connections, creating spaces where participants can authentically be themselves and connect on a deeper level.
This project has been taking place since 2022, in Tilburg (DOCK ZUID & Fontys Academy of Arts), Rotterdam (CORPO), Dordrecht (THEATER 450), Amsterdam (Various locations) and in other countries such as North Macedonia, Italy and Uruguay.
