Every time we travel across the country or even when we sit with our previous generation, we hear them telling a story. And if we look closer, we hear them singing the story in a way that’s personal, emotional and comes from the heart. What does it take to tell a story, and more than that sing the story.

The workshop will explore a simple way to look at the tone of folk singing, and derive energy from our collective memories to create simple stories in a way that can be sung in both English and our vernacular languages. There would be simple voice-based exercises, improv story creation and the participants will have a story song by the end of the workshop

What will you learn through the workshop:

• Shifting from telling to adding a musical tone to a story
• Finding comfort with our personal folk voice 
• Appreciating an ancient tradition of singing stories 
• Tuning for a story from our authentic memory bank
• A new way to work with children and stories

The workshop will be conducted online on Zoom
