Workshops and Residencies
Click here to visit Gongfusion to find out about workshops from 2005.
Our
workshops were extremely popular with the participants (especially those who
like loud noises!). Most workshops took place in one day, often with a performance
in the evening which incorporated the pieces and skills learned during the workshop.
However, our workshops were flexible enough to adapt to different needs and preferences.
The workshops could be repeated for a number of classes/groups or run in
a progressive series.
Most workshops were in schools or colleges but we also catered for other groups, including adults and more experienced musicians. We paticularly enjoyed working with groups of people with disabilities including two highly successful residencies working with children with hearing impairment.
The maximum number of participants for any one workshop was usually 30. As the day would usually include an evening shadow show performance, we needed a large space (such as a school hall) in which to run the workshops.
