AUDITIONS!!!

Granary New Directors Festival 2007
Auditions:

Enda Walsh’s The Small Things

The Small Things is an abstract piece by Enda Walsh, primary about how
we use language. How we use language for ourselves, to create the
world about us, to communicate with others and sometimes just to break
the silence. Man and Woman both live in houses on the top of hills
facing each other in the English countryside. They converse in a daily
ritual, retelling the story of how the arrived at this point in their
lives. It is a grizzly tale of violence and imposed order, a tale of
the steady silencing of the world leaving the two isolated and alone.

We are looking for: 1 Male aged 45+ 1 Female aged 45+

Auditions will take place at the Studio in the Granary on Wednesday
the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd of Aug. between 7pm and 9pm. The

CONSCIOUS VIBRATION VOICE WORKSHOP

Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 August

With Frank Kane visiting from Paris for one weekend

Exploring vibration and its role in the building of human harmony using the techniques and traditions of Georgian folk music
Actors, singers and those with no previous experience welcome

Location : Cork Movement Centre, 33 South Main St., Cork
Price : €95 for 2 days, 5 hours per day - Max 12 participants
More Info / Contact : Eimear 0872645074 or info@artimmediate.com

Through our conscious vibration – starting with a simple humming sound that we make – we become active participants in our inner integration. We can awaken parts of the body that are dormant or desensitised. We can revisit past experiences in our minds – including our most painful memories – allowing new nuances and hues to colour pictures that seemed rigid and static, and likewise enrich our speaking and singing voices with new resonance, timbre and energy.

The folk traditions of the Republic of Georgia, where sound and group singing have been used consciously as tools of social cohesion for centuries, inspire us to explore the power of vibration to build harmony within ourselves and to enhance human relationships. Conscious Vibration workshops draw on the explicit and implicit wisdom of these traditions.

Frank Kane – has been exploring the power of vibration and its role in the building of human harmony since his first encounter with the Georgian folk traditions in 1983. Over the past twenty years he has led vocal ensembles in the United States devoted to this remarkable repertoire and organized study tours in Georgia and many workshops in France for invited Georgian singers.

His teaching work focuses on vibration as the raw material of song, ourselves and the universe and is offered to people who enjoyed harmony singing and to anyone who sees the voice as a path of personal growth. Georgian song provides the material and the musical framework for an exploration of our voices and ourselves.

Franks leads weekly classes in Paris, France and workshops throughout Western Europe and in Canada and the United States.

The Hope Foundation was set up in February 1999 by three Cork women with a combined 35 years experience in development work. The Foundation works primarily with the street children in Calcutta and the subsequent difficulties that these children encounter. The estimated population of street children is approximately 200,000. It is higher in India than in any other developing country. The Hope Foundation provides formal and non-formal education, a nutrition programme and health care for the children. The Hope Foundation and their Indian NGO partners’ main objective is to continue to remove thousands of children off the streets and improve their quality of life.
