Call for Aboriginal Singers: Diverse As This Land - Voice Intensive Workshop

Program dates: June 27, 2011 - July 03, 2011
Application deadline: April 04, 2011

Aboriginal Arts will present the Diverse as This Land vocal intensive residency at The Banff Centre in the heart of Blackfoot and Stoney territories June 27 to July 3, 2011.

At the heart of the project is an exciting week-long voice intensive residency for 12 Aboriginal singers led by two outstanding vocal instructors. Participants have the opportunity to perform live as a group at the Diverse As This Land concert series during the Banff Summer Arts Festival.

Participants will explore singing as physical experience, breath control, capacity and resonance, understanding the vocal apparatus, care of the voice, and solo and group composition. Participants also receive hands-on development that enhances performance skills and career strategies in the music business.

We invite all interested singers to submit their applicati on to the Diverse As This Land program before April 4, 2011.

Here's What Past Participants Had to Say.
"My life as I 'knew it' has changed. I have learned so much about singing and about myself as a singer. I feel very grateful for this week's intensive learning."
- Participant from 2010 Diverse As This Land vocal intensive

"To be so inspired by nature itself, to be in the middle of something that's so big and beautiful, feels so good. The experience of being in the mountains at The Banff Centre is something you keep forever."
- Participant from 2010 Diverse As This Land vocal intensive
