Inside the Music - Outside the Box
Investigate your strength and uniqueness as a performer and develop your own style of musical performance at any skill level.
This workshop teaches you to reach inside yourself and project into your instrument so that your musical voice represents you.
In the spirit of individual performers from Jimi Hendrix to Yo Yo Ma to Edith Piaf, Bjork, Beck or Victor Borge -- you will find and develop your own stage persona.

Afternoons will include master-class-type coaching sessions.
Evenings offer structured jams to practice rhythms, improv forms, arrangements and soloing techniques.

It's All About You! Great performance is really about projecting our own unique spirit into the music, so, although you will learn new instrumental techniques -- this workshop is about YOU and about learning to access and project your unique spirit onstage and through your instrument!

INSTRUMENTS:
• Harp-players: you can bring your own instrument or share one of the on-site harps (lever & pedal). There's a $50 equipment fee if you need to share on-site instruments. (We usually bring two pedal harps, 2 acoustic lap-harps, and 2-3 electric strap-on harps, some with stands). Since the workshop is focused on performance rather than specific playing techniques, that's generally plenty of harps for everyone, but if you're concerned, you should arrange to bring your own harp. If you have questions or concerns about how this works, feel free to email us at info@HipHarp.com
• Other instrumentalists: please plan to bring your instrument. If you can't bring your instrument (if it's too big, too heavy, too delicate, unavailable), it's possible to take the workshop without an instrument and to focus during the workshop on stage, movement and other techniques.
• Vocalists, storytellers, actors, etc: your instruments are attached to you, of course, but feel free to bring any props or equipment you use or would like to use in your performances - or not. |
