Storytelling, movement & harp x daal x live kora
This CP's Autumn's event is an ode to strings!
A collaborative journey exploring how across cultures and history string instruments have emerged as tools of storytelling, meditation, love, ritual, and transcendence. Their resonance, emotional range, and intimate relationship with the human body has made them one of the most loved families of instruments on earth; holding us in many ways with a kind of universal magic.
For this gathering we’re welcoming harpist-singer Georgie Buchanan and dance artist Sophie Hutchinson for an opening restorative workshop exploring Selkie folklore through movement, voice, relaxation, live harp and song. No dance or music experience is needed - all are welcome!
Guided by the ethereal notes of the harp you’ll be invited to move, listen and rest – finding a connection to the body’s tides and weight of the earth in a deeply soothing way.
For the second part of the evening, we’re thrilled to welcome back Josh Doughty for his enchanting live kora & stories. The stringed West-African kora has been a storyteller’s tool for centuries, weaving together history, legend and spirit - namely through the Griot tradition. And Josh’s years of study with mentor, friend and visionary Toumani Diabate have unfolded from a place of exceptional talent and reverence for this stringed gourd’s timeless musical beauty. You can sit, lie or snooze as he takes us through a spellbinding mini-gig.
As for dinner, in between the sessions we’ll be sharing daal, naan, chutneys and garnish, with fresh mint tea. Just pop us an email with any dietary reqs on booking.
