Step by step the different body percussion sounds and techniques are introduced and tried out. The sounds are composed to rhythms from rock to samba.

But unless you know where to look it is difficult to find new repertoire and learn about the development of this genre. The “urban gospel” is influenced by the modern r’n’b, soul and hip hop music. At this discovery atelier we explore this style and work with it in the choir. We also sing and look at the differences between modern European and modern American gospel music.

This atelier is all about the combination of Voice and Physique which is based on the method/philosophy “Voice & Physique” by Panda van Proosdij.

Working on these elements can increase the level of musicality and dynamics which can result in a higher level of performing. Next to a supporting way of using the body it’s important to choose functional motion to add to the singing.
