Songwriting

Instructor: Peter Crosbie

Saturday June 8th

11-13h & 15-17h

We have a saying in English about creativity in general and songwriting in particular: success is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. In other words, writing a successful song isn’t so much about the ideas, it’s about what you do with them.

This workshop is about just that: how can we can take our ideas and build them into successful songs. We’ll analyse some great songs, and see that from Nirvana to Elvis, from Green Day to The Beatles, the Kinks to Michael Jackson, underlying approaches to putting songs together are surprisingly similar. We’ll see how these approaches to form and structure provide a framework for your ideas, and explore the important role that the basic musical building blocks: chords, rhythm, arrangement, melody, even lyrics, play in song construction, and how all these elements work together.

In resumé, the workshop looks at the craft and technique of songwriting. As such, it’s applicable across a wide range of styles. It’s designed to give you tools and techniques to help build your ideas into great songs.

Workshops on sunday

Stage Performance

Instructor: Philipp Stavenhagen

Sunday June 9th

10-16 Uhr (includes lunchtime 12-14h)

Philipp Stavenhagen is actor and psychologist; he works as trainer and coach. He studied dramatic arts in Berlin and completed training in the Michael-Tschechow-Method. For more than 10 years, he has been playing in the free group “Die Koralle” (the coral). With his work, he combines two sides of the same coin: developing the mental power of an actor and training the body as a medium to capture emotions.

In the workshop STAGE PERFORMANCE, the focus will be on the actor’s presence on stage and his authentic emotional expression. We will work systematically with the three instruments of an actor: body, emotion and voice. We will examine our own success factors and/or obstacles when performing on stage and check how to improve our stage performance.
