The BIG Bree Workshop Weekend 7 & 8 November 2015

Young musicians and dancers aged 10-18 (school years 6 – 13) are invited to take part in the annual Big Bree Workshop Weekend on 7 & 8 November in the Youth Arts Centre, Kensington Road, Douglas.

Organised by Culture Vannin, youngsters will spend the weekend with expert tutors learning Manx songs and dances, working on instrumental technique, creating a play, writing new tunes and songs, and putting on a show at the end for family and friends. No experience of Manx music, dance or the Gaelic language is needed, but students are expected to be fairly competent on their musical instrument. Early booking is recommended as places are limited. The weekend costs £10 per student.

Application form can be downloaded here  Please return the form and payment before Fri 30 October.

‘Bree’ meets once month for informal sessions, public performances, busking for local charities and workshops.Learn more about the group in their promo video.
