This workshop is intended for yodellers who already have some (or more) experience with yodelling and want to dive deeper into this singing form in the wonderfully inspiring area of Val Aupa and the Friulian mountains.
Note! This workshop can also be attended by people who have been to this area with me before, because I will create new yodels and also a new hike for those re-registering. The limited number of participants (max. 8 people) guarantees an intensive encounter with a special type of singing, in a special place.
Different yodels will be used to work on intimacy, flexibility, resonance, and personal expression.
To hold one’s voice in polyphonic singing, to hear oneself and others, to interact with them and to feel comfortable during a solo will be central themes here.
The yodel texts and their structures will be illuminated even more precisely, in order to relieve the voice and ensure a differentiated expression over longer periods of time.
Ingrid Schmoliner, experienced musician, teacher, composer, and passionate singer, will give her experienced insight into the connections between body – space – expression – structure – impulse – resonance – perception – and technique within this special singing form.
Since we will also be hiking, please bring good outdoor shoes and weatherproof clothing!
There will not be difficult hikes, but please only register if it is possible for you to walk unassisted on narrow trails.
With Kaspar Nickles, alpine farmer and nature guide, we will discover what the wonderfully wild mountain landscape around Dordolla has to tell us, and let us be inspired by the primeval, in all its nuances.
The website of our hosts Kaspar and Marina offers insights into their farmhouse, where we will not only stay but also enjoy eating regional specialities (many with ingredients from their own organic farm) cooked by the farmer’s wife herself. This will help make this workshop a truly special experience.
If this virtual visit makes you want more of Val Aupa/Dordolla, you can also extend your yodelling weekend before or after (with 10% discount off the standard room prices!).
