Paris born, now Auckland based singer, songwriter and musician Sonia Wilson will be holding a workshop at Hilltop on Nov 16th from 11am to 12.30pm, open to all levels of musical experience.
"Grounded in Sonia's personal journey with a capella singing, world music, French music, sound healing, acting and singing in various bands, the aim of this beginner-friendly workshop will be to introduce attendees to a set of tools for accessing their own creativity through voice, body, breath, playfulness and song, increasing self-confidence, listening and expressive skills, improving vocal agility and an introduction to group improvisation.
Through a guided process of creative group exploration, participants will be encouraged to strengthen their physical and spatial awareness and connection, as well as learning about the voice, singing and harmony, with a special focus on a couple French tunes.
Gate opens 10.45am for 11am Start. One and a half hour workshop $25 per person. Merci beaucoup & à bientôt!
“Sonia Wilson is a living, breathing human Womad Festival. Born and raised in Paris, UK-educated and now based in Auckland, the Franco-American singer, songwriter and musician had a dizzying musical apprenticeship. A member of both gospel and Acapella choirs from a young age, her music has taken her from the streets of Paris, across the Kenyan savannah, through remote Himalayan villages, and then ’home’ to New Zealand. When she’s not performing, Sonia teaches, offering classes in individual and group ukulele, guitar and vocals.” (Peter Malcouronne, Ockham Collective)
