Voor het eerst organiseert Altai Yurt een tweedaagse workshop onder begeleiding van maar liefst vier meesterzangers uit Tuva. Deze workshop is een exclusieve kans om de diepe klanken van keelzang te leren van artiesten die deze kunst van jongs af aan beheersen en op wereldpodia vertegenwoordigen. Door het kleine aantal deelnemers is er veel persoonlijke aandacht en volop ruimte voor 1-op-1 sessies! Je krijgt feedback op je techniek, ondersteuning in je ontwikkeling en de kans om samen te zingen, te leren en elkaar te inspireren.
Of je nu net begint of al ervaring hebt: dit weekend biedt je een kans om écht te leren keelzingen – van mensen die zijn opgegroeid met deze traditie. Je krijgt persoonlijke aandacht, praktische oefeningen en ruimte om te oefenen met boventonen, ademhaling, resonantie en klankvorming. Je zingt samen, luistert, probeert en ontdekt - op een manier die nergens anders in Nederland mogelijk is!
Tijdens dit weekend duiken we in de verschillende stijlen van Tuvaanse keelzang, waaronder: Khoomei – de basis stijl met sterke boventonen. Sygyt – helder en fluitachtige boventoon. Kargyraa – diep, resonant en aardend.
Je leert ook over de culturele achtergrond, ademtechniek, klankopbouw, de instrumenten en meer. In de groepssessies leer je luisteren, afstemmen en samen klanken creëren. In de individuele momenten krijg je persoonlijke tips, oefeningen en coaching.
Tussen de sessies door zorgen we voor heerlijke maaltijden, ontspanning, en de mogelijkheid om vragen te stellen of gewoon in contact te zijn met deze bijzondere gasten!
