The Weft of the Song, the Warp of the Story
17 April 2010
14:00pm
The Scottish Storytelling Centre
In the oral arts, it is important to 'be present' in the song or story. In order to do this we need to attend to the messages and moods contained in the song.. In this participative singing workshop you will work together with storyteller and singer Ruth Kirkpatrick to uncover these riches beyond the words and tune. Open to anyone with an interest in stories and song.
