August 18th - Contemporary Music Workshop ( part- recorded ) - upstairs atThe Lion, Basford 7-9pm - Leader Dallas Simpson. All of the contemporary music workshops will be organised on the ideas below expressed by Dallas Simpson.
Dallas writes:-
"I am deliberately resisting creating lists of themes myself. Ideally I would like participants to think of some themes they would like the group to explore and share them at the session. We need to build group trust, confidence, inspiration and synergy.
I would also like to look at developing sensitivities towards specific elements of improvisation - moving between dynamic phases of loud to softy, Fast to slow, Stopping , starting, rhythmic , a-rythmic but performing these elements intuitively and moving between them without external indication or "conducting" but relying on sensitivity, intuition and listening skills"
