Plan extra time to find this new location.
Please pre-register, and update your membership with Carl Orff Canada ahead, so the registration desk volunteers are free to join everyone for the 9:30 start. You won’t want to miss a minute with Judith! Go green – bring your own coffee mug. Lunch will be provided for those registered by 12:30pm Friday Sept 23.
The first part of the workshop will introduce different games, circle dances, songs and body percus-sion patterns. Each one will feature a combination of music, dance and voice. In the second half we will be part of a creative process with interlocking relationships. The steps of the process will build upon each other. We will start with one idea, the idea of interlocking. Pictures of interlocking patterns and forms will give the foundation for an improvisation with ropes and sounds. From pictures to improvisation, from single lines to an interlocking sculpture and from frozen bodies to a moving image. At the end of the process we will have group pieces to present.
