KNOTS - Workshop Sessions
SGÀIRE WOOD
Performing celtic identity
Places for 12 people
Sgàire Wood is a Northern Irish artist and performer based in Glasgow. Specialising in emotive, drag-inspired lip-sync performance, her work explores issues of fragmented identity, nostalgia, nationality, mental illness and gender dysphoria. Combining high-energy remixes with fetishised elements of Celtic tradition, she deliberately confuses the folkloric with the hyper-modern, attempting to carve out an intimate space in club-environments for connection, catharsis and emotional exorcism.
Sgàires afternoon workshop will provide a relaxed and informal opportunity to consider the inherent performativity of identity expression and channel the thoughts and feelings that rise from this conversation, be they triumphant or traumatic, into personal, musical mini-performances. She will also perform during the evening.
DEBBIE ARMOUR
Floating Verses
Maximum 20 places
Debbie Armour is a Glasgow-based musician who works in the fields of performance and community facilitation. She runs an open-access choir in Govanhill and is the lead artist for Wee Linties, an ongoing archive project of children's song and games. She has a particular interest in traditional songs in Scots, English, Gaelic and other European languages.
In this workshop, we'll focus on one specific long-form ballad and explore how we can structure the narrative to balance storytelling, musicality and characterisation. Performing these songs involves a lot of decision making! We will discuss how to use the frame work of the story to address the themes we want to address as singers, explore who's voices we want to elevate and how we do that. We will also talk about some of the wide range of resources available for research. By the end of the session, the group will have developed a collaborative version of the song. Debbie will also be joining in a performance/discussion with Alasdair Roberts later in the evening. *PLEASE NOTE - Copies of the workshop materials will be available digitally, so if you have access to an iPad or tablet, you're welcome to bring it to the session so we can save some paper!*
JOSIE VALLELY
Where did you learn to sing like that? A Youtube Film Festival
Unlimited places
Josie Vallely is a Glasgow based musician who sings traditional Scots song. Her work is largely unaccompanied with occasional harmonium, dulcimer, and DIY beats providing scrapes, drones, and rhythms. Taught almost exclusively by tradition bearers of Scots song she has never met via Youtube, her repertoire focuses on stories sung from womens perspectives.
Everyone's process of choosing songs and building a repertoire is unique. Josies afternoon workshop will give insight into the way she builds her repertoire, from great ballads to nonsense rhyme. She will look at the questions she gets asked when she sings and explore how she tackles the themes of authenticity that are demanded of Trad singers. This session will be like an hour-long session of Left field folk MTV. Sit back, relax, popcorn may be provided.
