Thursday, December 10th 
6 – 7:30 pm 
Naomi Burrell
£12.50

Brilliant solo violinist Naomi Burrell is also an expert Dalcroze trainer, and we thoroughly recommend that you dive into this exploration of movement phrasing, based on the pioneering work of Emile Jacques Dalcroze, himself a student of Fauré, and Bruckner. A deeply refreshing way to connect to music.

Wednesday 1st July, from 6 – 8 pm

Barefoot Opera team leaders Penelope Randall Davis, Jenny Miller, Alexandra Baybutt, and Evelyn Miller will take it in turns to explore this question using detailed exercises with movement and breath.

By responding to each other’s work, they will create a more seamless and varied experience for our participants.

We are keeping the cost very low, £10, to enable access.  This will also be a little taster for our late summer on-line course – info here!

Praise for our last workshop:

“So generous! Was such a powerful experience please ask jenny to do another session”

“Thank you so much for a fascinating session last Wednesday! I very much enjoyed your teaching and your philosophy. ” 

“I really enjoyed the session” 

For this workshop it would be great to familiarise yourself with the first two pages of O Del Mio Dolce Ardor – by Gluck – found in 24 songs and arias of the 17 and 18th centuries (Schirmer) or easily found on-line. 
It is NOT necessary to memorise – and if you are not comfortable with Italian just become familiar with the melody.

(O del mio dolce ardor)
