Join Key Of She for a free workshop bringing together musicians and dancers to explore improvisation through music and movement.
This will be a two-hour workshop that will explore improvised music to improvised movement/dance. Workshops are capped at 12–15 people to ensure a nice mixture of different groups, and that you get the support you need. There will also be space for four movement/dancer attendees.
You don't need to know dance moves, be able to use all your limbs, understand music theory, read music, or even play your instrument to a high standard in order to improvise! Just come with a curious and open-mind, and be very willing to make noise, or move, and support other people's noise-making and moving.
There will be a short break in the middle of the workshop, and the venue has a café available for refreshments (and you're welcome to bring your own).
A drum kit, keyboard, and some mics will be provided. Guitars can be amplified (either PA or small amplifier). Otherwise, please bring your instrument. There is a budget for anyone local who cannot afford to transport their instrument in order to access the workshops. Please email keyofshesheffield@gmail.com if you'd like to access this.
Theatre Deli is wheelchair accessible, with parking just outside the building entrance.
All Key Of She events are free, thanks to funding, but if you can donate, this enables them to keep getting funding and creating more opportunities.
Facilitator: Megan Hatto
Megan has a background in both music and dance and whilst training as a contemporary dancer in her late 20s discovered a love for improvisation especially in relationship to others, whether musicians or other movers and preferably both. She has also spent a lot of time doing contact improvisation a movement dance form that builds entirely on physical relationships with another, building physical listening skills extremely useful as a base for improvising with a musician. She most recently performed last autumn for Manchester jazz festival along with musician Sarah Heneghan.
