Tenebrae: Community Choir Workshop

Through his choral workshops, conductor Nigel Short aims to provide an insight into the elements which make Tenebrae’s sound and interpretation to music so unique. Participants are instilled with performance skills essential to a Tenebrae performance, focusing on all-important teamwork and communication as well as accuracy and musicianship. Nigel is joined by six Tenebrae singers, who sing from within the choir throughout the workshop, helping to illustrate the techniques as Nigel explains them.

Second Season: "I Have an Idea for a Play" and "Doubled Bodies"

I Have an Idea for a Play
Written by Jordan Resnick
Directed by Katie Arnold

In this Brechtian play about the ticking clock that is life, characters experience existential dread as they become aware of their own status as fictional. Distanced from the imaginary world of the play, the characters navigate themes of female empowerment, sexuality and student loans.

Doubled Bodies
Choreographed by Kristina Harris and Gabriel Mata

Second Season: "I AM WOMB" and "Champagne Party for Time Travelers"

I AM WOMB
Choreographed by Gabriela Grant

Grant explores how colored female bodies are crafted and presented in the eyes of institutions. She examines their femininity and masculinity and how this contributes to their commodification. It also explores how this impacts women’s relationships between one another. The work fuses her movement from her African and urban movement training, as well as her modern dance training. One question Grant presents and invites the audience to think about is, "How can women reclaim the power in their femininity?"
