Masterclass #2

June 27/28, 2020 with Monica Wilkinson (Scotland)
"A Dalcroze Masterclass with Monica Wilkinson – Solo Chamber Music"
This aural-based lesson will be an exploration of hearing and performing two lines, with a focus on phrase.  You will need your voice and some space to move.

Masterclass #3

July 11/12, 2020 with Michael Joviala (United States)
"A Dalcroze Masterclass with Michael Joviala –Alone Together: A Dalcroze Exploration of Relationship "

 

Associations and dissociations, systems and follows… the names of many commonly performed Dalcroze activities parallel the language of our social, interpersonal and even political lives. Against the present dramatic backdrop of disruption, adaptation and reaction (also core aspects of Dalcroze experience), we use our bodies, minds and hearts to find the music in relationship to one another across boundaries both virtual and real.
