| Out of the Woods: Folk Song Writing with Harbottle & Jonas
- A two-day immersion in nature-related folk songs.
Dartington Hall, Dartington, Totnes, TQ9 6EL ABOUT THIS COURSE During this weekend course you will spend time in the woods and gardens of Dartington, taking inspiration from nature and learning to play and sing nature-inspired folk songs as a group. This experience will be applied to writing exercises that will get your creativity, words and voices flowing in new ways, with the chance to write your own song; solo or in groups. We will sing outside in the woods, swim in the river (optional) and sit, reflect and meditate. Friday night will be a fireside evening to which you are encouraged to bring a nature-related song or story to share. Harbottle & Jonas will perform a public gig on the Saturday evening joined by very special guest artist Jackie Oates who will also join in with a workshop activity. Choral workshop leader Katie Whitehouse will be assisting the course. This workshop is open to anyone – bring your voice or your instrument or both! No experience necessary, just a willingness to connect with folk songs, nature and your own creativity. |

| Irish Dance - North Devon I have been Irish dancing for 12 years and reached advanced level. I have performed in numerous shows and public demonstrations. I have recently moved to this area from East Anglia, where I ran and managed my own dance school, and so I'm very keen to continue my passion for Irish dance here in the north Devon area, by either offering lessons or getting involved in some groups or doing some demonstrations/displays. If you would like any further details please don't hesitate to contact me - telephone 07977698939, or email. |
