This is a photo of our lovely mentors, Denis Donnelly and Siobhan Robinsong. Their dedication and generosity is truly humbling.
It's Tuesday morning actually. I intended to blog last evening but the computer ate my day's collection of sound files (that's much worse than the dog eating your homework) and searched frantically until I found them. Long story, but it has a happy ending. I found them.
They included a 2 hour tape of Dr. Adam Con who is researching lifelong singers, and combining his knowledge of Tai Chi and choral singing!
We learned about how to use the body for conducting, how to create neuro-imaging in your singers. After 2 hours, our 40 conductor/singers were putty in his hands. He would barely move his hands to create the most subtle variations in sound. Unbelievable!! Here is a short video of an interview with Adam Con.

I met a dear friend from Hornby for lunch at the best vegan restaurant I've ever been to called Be Love, and then we were treated to a couple hours of Laurence Cole teaching us his new work.
Here are a few photos from yesterday, showing the beautiful room and ceiling of the Church of Truth where we meet.
