  • TASTER WORKSHOP 3: EVERYBODY CAN SING
    Together with Jens Niemeier, theatre pedagogue, musician and trainer for improvised singing, you will go on an exciting journey to discover your (singing) voice, because everyone can sing! Everyone can sing! The question is, what music suits my voice and how do I make my voice fit the music? Together we will explore different musical genres such as pop, rock, pop and hip hop and improvise songs, lyrics, melodies and more. A workshop for anyone who has always wanted to know what is possible with their own voice! After the workshop, we will see PREACH, which includes a gospel choir.
    SUNDAY, 23.02.2025, 2 TO 7 PM, MEETING PLACE STAGE ENTRANCE, COSTS 7/15€
