PRINCIPLE OF THE COURSE
This 1-year program is for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the world of vocal improvisation. The aim of this course is for participants to acquire practical tools to help them develop theircirclesong pratice within a framework of regular, structured follow-up over the year.
The course lasts 25 days and is divided into a series of modules of 5 days each.
Each day of the course takes the form of group work focusing on :
– the technical aspect of circlesong (harmony, rhythm, melody, evolution, leading, body percussion, beatbox, etc.)
–the relationship to oneself and to others in circlesong (letting go of solos, non-verbal communication, connecting to emotions, understanding habitual vs. non-habitual mechanisms, etc.).
The modules are punctuated by individual, personalised circlesong coaching sessions. The modules also include several free circlesong practice sessions.
Between modules, participants are expected to equip themselves with a looper to practise circlesong at home and/or create practical groups. To help them practise independently, participants will have a booklet of exercises to practise with and, between each module, they will have ‘homework’ to complete.
Each class is composed of 10-13 participants.
CIRCLESONG
Circlesongs is a musical structure that involves creating spontaneous vocal compositions in a group setting, often in a circle or semicircle, with one person standing at the center of the group and freely improvising small musical patterns (loops) which she distributes to parts of the circle. Like a song, a circlesong has a beginning and an end. It starts with silence, continues as long as the improviser finds inspiration and ends when the circle is brought back to silence.
For the leader,working on this musical structure involves developing musical skills in the creation of improvised arrangements, developing the qualities of clarity and precision in leading the circle, and awakening the inner posture to let go and be present to what comes through during the improvisation.
For those in the circle, working on this musical structure involves serving the leader by reproducing the rhythmic and harmonic suggestions given, by developing a sense of listening and cohesion within the group, and by finding pleasure and comfort in repetition.
