WORKSHOPS
Spotlight Words and Music Collaborations
Saturday 25th September, Saturday 30 October
Shaun Blezard aka Clutter and myself are very pleased that Spotlight have asked us to lead these workshops for a third year. The workshops bring six writers and six musicians together to create true collaborations between words and sound, streching the boundaries of music using sound and text in abstract and atmospheric ways.
We will record the results of the day and participants will recieve a CD of the work produced. There are two dates but the workshop will be a repeat so please chose the date that suits you better.
The fee for the day is £10 and the workshops are 10-4pm Book early to avoid disappointment by emailing me at mail@annthepoet.com
