About the event
Circlesongs Experience
Workshop in englischer Sprache mit Gastdozent Gaël Aubrit aus Frankreich (partielle Übersetzung möglich)
In Gaël's Worten:
Circlesongs are a form of a capella singing in which someone conducts a circle of singers, assigning them a melodical loop, or a rhythmic or harmonic part, and improvising on top of it. Bobby McFerrin made this way of singing famous and it is now spreading throughout Europe, bringing together beginners as well as accomplished singers, for a unique collective experience.
This workshop offers a discovery of this universe. You won’t necessarily conduct and improvise in the center of the circle, nor will you learn all the tricks. You can just enjoy the music, play and explore rhythm, harmony, listening, human and vocal cohesion.
A good sense of rhythm and experience in polyphonic singing are recommended (but not required) to fully enjoy the experience. Whatever your level, it is likely that you will get out of your comfort zone at one time or another: sometimes patterns can be repeated over a long time, or, on the contrary, everything can switch over very quickly and you will have to stay focused and be reactive. You might improvise in front of everyone (if you want to!), but you could also feel frustrated for not having enough time and space to do it.
We will dance, move, sing (a lot), connect to others, and live a journey through all kinds of experiences and atmospheres.
Zu Gaël's Person:
Gaël Aubrit fell in love with vocal improvisation and circlesongs through discovering Bobby Mcferrin in 2010. Since then, he dedicates most of his life to spreading and refining this particular art form. He graduated first from the ENM Villeurbanne with a State certificate in musical studies (DEM) in singing, he then became a certified vocal technique teacher of Allan Wright's "Le Chanteur Moderne". In the meantime, he joined the teachers team in Bobby McFerrin's annual Circlesongs school in the US. He teaches in many different places: music schools and artistic centers, in France and abroad, and to professionals as well as amateurs.
