Event Description: In this workshop we will look at ways storytellers can collaborate with musicians. Key elements of this are resonance in the body of the storyteller - which allows the storyteller to amplify themselves to a suitable level to be heard alongside a musician; rhythm - finding a way to synchronise speech and music; presence - being on stage in a way that allows the story or poem to speak through you. Participants should bring a 3 minute piece with strong rhythmic elements (such as Rumi, Kabir or Mirabai) that they have learnt by heart. Accompanying musicians are also welcome at this workshop.
