Workshop: Vocal & Rhythmic Playground
4125 Riehen
The two-day workshop with choirmaster, singer and beatboxer Julian Knörzer focuses on rhythm, beatboxing and vocal improvisation
The two-day workshop with Freiburg choirmaster, beatboxer, singer and rhythm teacher Julian Knörzer is aimed at anyone who wants to explore or deepen their voice, rhythm and creative ensemble work in a guided setting. The central elements of the workshop are basic beatbox techniques and their use to accompany vocal ensembles. Rhythm games, body percussion and loop songs train pulse and sense of rhythm. Vocal Painting (VOPA) introduces a musical sign language that enables non-verbal communication between conductor and ensemble and is particularly suitable for improvised choral music such as circle singing. This is complemented by vocal games that playfully strengthen rhythm, vocal sound, listening skills and group processes. All in all, a weekend with plenty of room for experimentation and sonic discoveries.
