WORKSHOP
for Storytellers, Teachers, Librarians, and Musicians ($20/person)
"Finding the Music in Our Stories" 3:30-5:30p.m.
Emily Hooper Lansana and Glenda Zahra Baker have been performing together for more than twenty years. They have a unique approach to the art of storytelling because they collaboratively weave stories together with music to create innovative performances.
In this workshop, participants will:
--Learn about the “In the Spirit” story development process exploring questions like-How do we find the musical moment in the story? Are there moments when the music can set the stage, advance the narrative or close the story?
--Explore different techniques for enhancing a story with music. Including creating original rhythms and chants, incorporating traditional songs.
--Consider how the use of music can help the storyteller to build stronger connections with the story and the audience.
This workshop is ideal for storytellers and story lovers, for those who love music but are not musicians and for those who are musicians but still finding their way into story. Join us to make music and stories together!
