Rhiannon and Margie will offer a 5 days workshop in Montréal.
Murmuration- Sept 23 to 27, 2024
Murmuration is the name for the way Starlings move in the sky by hundreds and thousands as they float and fly in incredible formations that disappear and reappear. Dancers who call this flocking led the way in understanding how humans can mimic the beauty of nature.
This work has always been collaborative and meant to grow and evolve as it spreads around the world.
In fall of 2023, Margie Gillis and Rhiannon decided to test the magic by bringing 28 singers who had all trained with me in my All The Way In year long vocal improvisations study. They worked in studio five hours a day for two weeks to imagine how to create a kind of immersion going from one idea, one movement, one vocal line, adding physical dimension that shape shifts, musical rhythms, harmonies, bass lines, percussion, syncopation, supporting lines, solos and language, and then segue for an hour so that the whole creation becomes a piece.
Margie Gillis and Rhiannon are making plans to teach a five day session in Montreal this fall to deepen the process and allow more singers to enter and dancers as well.
