2004 ArtShops:

JAZZ AND POETRY   
A workshop with Verandah Porche and Eugene Uman
Saturday, November 20, 2004, 9am-4pm
At the Vermont Jazz Center in Brattleboro

A day to immerse ourselves in word-and-music-making, to shared an exploration of sound and language.

Working together, alone, and in small groups, we will build pieces with music and spoken word from scratch, and perform them. Participants should bring writing implements, images and riff to share, and instruments (anything you have! Your voice, your bagpipes!) Top it off with a bag lunch and you're set!

WORDS & MUSIC/MUSIC & WORDS

A workshop with Dennis Murphy and Geof Hewitt
Saturday, January 8, 2005; 9am-4pm
At U-32 High School in East Montpelier

Explore the many ways words and music can interact!

From drumming on an overturned trash can to strumming on a stringed instrument; from babbling incoherently to composing a complete Shakespearian sonnet, each of us will experiment with the happy surprises that can result from such spontaneous play.

Bring a pencil or pen and paper. Musical instruments will be provided but by all means bring your own too.
