We will end 2023 and begin 2024 with voice, movement, and celebration of your hopes and wishes for the New Year. Beginning in the morning with movement, breathing, and singing, we will move through the day with improvisation and vocal exploration around the themes for the New Year. How would I like to cross the threshold between the years, to wrap up the old year and the past, and launch the New Year with new energy and new ideas? The workshop will include singing lessons in 2 groups.  We will close each day with traditional polyphonic Georgian singing that we’ll perform together on the final evening.

Laurent Stéphan has spent many years exploring the traditions of Georgia especially 3-part harmony singing, and the traditional ritual of the ‘Supra’ where those sharing a meal are invited to sing and speak from their hearts, and to listen deeply to one another. Laurent will direct the New Year’s banquet inspired by these Georgian traditions. We will prepare the meal together and invite the other residents of Malérargues to celebrate the passage of the year with us. For further information please email: laurent_stephan@yahoo.fr
