Online Workshop Variations for scottische with Koen Dhondt
Time:
13:00 - 14:30 GMT, which is 14:00 - 15:30 on the European continent!
This workshop is a part of the online Festival des Panards. You can participatie in other online dance & music workshops, and 3 groups will be playing bal/concert for you: Naragonia, Duo Piel/Lemoine and Anne Pack & Jo Veal.
Are you curious about frequent musical patterns in folk music, and more specificly in scottish? Ready to explore their impact on your way of dancing? Not afraid to (learn to) improvise on the music? Then sign up for this workshop! No partner, dance experience nor musical knowledge required.
- Musicality in scottish: dance variations in connection with the music.
- Info and tips to understand folk music: structure, rhythms, melodies, bars, beats, solo / improvisations,...
- Listening exercises: Which musical element appears in this song? At what moment does it occur? And how can I predict when it will appear again?
- How to improvise your own variations in connection with the music, during the dance?
NB: We will not analyse the same songs as in the online workshop for Sheffield Eurosessions in December 2020.
