Join Amy and Alison for an exciting Stepdance or Fiddle workshop to explore the fundamentals of this traditional style of dance and music, before our evening performance of Deiseil: Dancing in Time, with Amy Geddes & Alison Carlyle
Learn to create rhythms with your feet and to play tunes for this percussive dancing. We will focus on pulse, beat and rhythm, using tunes and steps to explore the fundamentals of music and dance. As well as separate sessions for musicians and dancers, everyone will spend time learning together, creating a deeper understanding of how the dance is part of the music. A joyful exploration of how to “talk” to each other with our instruments and feet.
