AFRICAN SINGING (ILIZWI*) WORKSHOP

THURSDAY 19 JUNE 10.00AM–1.00PM

In this interactive session, Nobuntu will work with participants on African harmony and rhythm by performing a group of traditional African songs. The ensemble members will introduce African harmonies and teach the basics of playing and singing African rhythms.

*The direct translation of the Zulu word ilizwi is 'the word' – in this context, singing.

AFRICAN DANCE WORKSHOP
FRIDAY 20 JUNE 10.00AM–1.00PM

Participants will learn the rhythms through drumming, clapping and movement. Members of Nobuntu will teach various dances from the Ndebele Culture, such as Isitshikitsha, Indlamu and Amabhiza. Singing will also accompany the dances, so participants will be introduced to one or two songs and these will be performed alongside the movement. Participants will also learn the origin and meaning of these rhythms.

Please note: 

  • Both workshops are open to amateur and professional singers – Nobuntu caters for singers of varying levels in their workshop presentations.
  • There is not a requirement to prepare music in advance, and there is not a requirement to be able to read music notation.
  • We welcome singers of all ages to participate in these workshops. Children under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult and must be directly supervised at all times.
  • Your ticket includes morning tea – please indicate any dietary requirements as a note on your booking and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
  • Professional development certificates for teachers are available on request.
