Migration Matters Festival 2023, Sheffield - singing workshop
As part of our day at Sheffield’s @migmat festival this year, I have led a traditional Eastern-European singing (with a bit of dancing) workshop. With assistance of my wonderful violinist, Ann Jones, our workshop included: voice and body warm-up (good for beginners as well as pros); improvisational sing-shouting and movement (in style of Eastern European shepherds); learning traditional Eastern-European songs (a bit of history and folklore here) and easy barn style dancing, that just gets everyone jolly and cheerful! So if you wish having something as amazing as that at your event, accessible to anyone, doesn’t matter the age, gender nor ability, we’re available for bookings! :)

Refugee Festival 2023, Midlands Arts Centre, Birmingham, together with In Her Shoes
Thank you Celebrating Sanctuary Birmingham, Midlands Arts Centre and In Her Shoes for organising such a beautiful day to celebrate refugees, migrants and women from around the world. It was a pure pleasure to be part of it. As part of our performance with In Her Shoes, we have sang (and shouted) songs written by Ukrainian, Afghan and other women-refugees that this amazing organisation works with. In Her Shoes regularly provides music and creative workshops for women in Moseley, Birmingham area. #refugeeweek #worldmusic #folkmusic #folksinger #polishmusic#gypsymusic #ukrainianmusic #balkanmusic #folkdance#traditional #muzykatradycyjna #musicians #folkband#festival #livemusic #birminghammusic #dance
