B. FORMATION OF LARGE GONGS
by Jacomina Kistemaker and Jacomina Sounds
Gongs are very powerful instruments, handmade in China, with 1-4 metals, based on the knowledge of a millenary tradition.
To work with these powerful instruments it is very important to develop a clean, wise and loving attitude, with a lot of presence in listening and playing. The sound is an excellent conveyor of the intentions of the person playing.
The sound structure of the gongs is taught and how to play these instruments, with so much power, to bring out their richness of tones and nuances with different mallets and other high quality tools. We will enter into a myriad of subtleties and messages that the gong gives us, mirroring ourselves and resonating with what enters its field.
On a therapeutic level, we will work from energetic/body awareness and listening. The voice will be used as a vibrational instrument to resonate with parts of our own body and then with the gong, bringing us closer and closer to its essence.
The work with the large Gongs is very subtle, a dance of extremes: How to play and contain this great power and how to use its strength and subtlety as an instrument for music, meditation, therapy and personal growth.
CONTENTS
. Introduction to the different gongs, their sound structure, ways of playing them and their effects.
. Silence, listening and energetic awareness.
. The gong as a mirror and amplifier of the attitude, moods and presence of the person playing.
. The gong as an instrument of diagnosis, cleansing, healing and self-expression.
Each participant works with a Tam Tam gong from a minimum of 65 cm to a maximum of 100 cm in diameter.

Tata is a renowned jazz singer and an extraordinary teacher for professional singers, but also with a great ability to help people with singing difficulties. She has an amazing, beautiful and fun approach that includes a lot of improvisation and rhythm. She is able to make everyone sing their "own song". Don't miss the opportunity to work with her!
VOICE IN MOTION
Singing requires a very complex internal movement for the imagined sound to manifest itself, but it is not necessary to invent it, only to allow it. The body in turn expresses in external movements figures that speak to us of its interiority.
From the inside to the outside, from the outside to the inside...
His proposal this year is the exploration of these two flows to enhance the naturalness of the singing and favour its immediacy.
We will create music and dance following the first impulse.
This workshop is open to everyone and does not require any previous knowledge or experience, on the contrary, people who have never sung before are especially welcome.... the working system allows musicians and singers to coincide with "first-timers" and makes it possible for both to benefit.
We will celebrate the joy that singing produces, the well-being that the vibration of our voice transmits and the peace that the expression of our being through sound and movement generates.
