In the work­shop “Per­cus­sion and vocal impro­vi­sa­tion cir­cles” per­cus­sion and voice are basic and unique tools that move in par­al­lel. Work­shop par­tic­i­pants will exper­i­ment with both voice and per­cus­sion instru­ments.

The vocal impro­vi­sa­tion will be based on “Call-Response” ses­sions, where one

per­son sings a musi­cal phrase and guides the group, answer­ing with their own vari­a­tions and

impro­vi­sa­tions. On the oth­er hand, in per­cus­sion cir­cles (Drum Cir­cle or Drum Jam or

Com­mu­ni­ty Drum­ming) indi­vid­u­als using per­cus­sion instru­ments will cre­ate a musi­cal

deriv­a­tive, enjoy­ing com­plete auton­o­my and free­dom in terms of choice of instru­ments,

degree and qual­i­ty of par­tic­i­pa­tion in the cir­cle. A per­cus­sion cir­cle can con­sist of per­cus­sion

instru­ments such as djem­bes, cajon, but also bot­tles, spoons, our bod­ies, etc.

The ulti­mate goal of the work­shop is to cre­ate a con­ducive envi­ron­ment in which

par­tic­i­pants express them­selves, are enter­tained and edu­cat­ed musi­cal­ly. Final­ly, this

work­shop aims to give birth to an inclu­sive artis­tic net­work of vol­un­teers, musi­cians and

par­tic­i­pants.
