World Unlimited is sending out a call for young West Midland based musicians who wish to further develop their workshop practice in a workshop series 'Roots To Fruit' commencing in early spring 2010.

 

‘Roots to Fruit’ is a programme of participatory workshops exploring how music shares and celebrates culture, diversity and tradition.

 

The workshop series will create opportunities for collaboration between musicians and also opportunities for diverse communities from the Midlands to celebrate personal, familiar cultures and tradition and to discover and experience other cultures.

 

Master musician Kudaushe Matimba from Zimbabwe will work with young musicians from a range of musical cultures, creating opportunities for the development of skills in workshop practice and for international collaboration.  Kudaushe will then direct a multi-layered programme of workshops working with the musicians, providing both a celebration of familiar music and also a journey into new cultures for local communities.

 

Each public workshop will combine two distinct cultures.

The project will deliver workshops for local communities in the West Midlands including local African, Afro-Caribbean, South American, Irish, Eastern European, and Asian communities.

 

Each section of the project will involve a one to one session between Kudashe and a musican, followed by the delivery of a workshop to the public.

Musicians working with Kudaushe will gain professional development and the guidance of an experienced musician as they focus on workshop practice together and deliver a workshop to the public exploring the differing cultures.

.

The two distinct genres of music represented in each session will also enable opportunities for collaboration between Kudaushe and the musicians. The work between them will culminate in a gathering of all musicians involved in the project.

 

We are seeking those musicians who are in early-stage careers who will benefit from a rare training opportunity combined with the supported delivery of a workshop to the public.

Participating musicians will be paid a small bursary for their time on the project.

 

 

Any interested musicians should email world.unlimited@o2.co.uk for  an application form (closing date November 21st) or call Graham Radley on 07815 620402 fur further information

Chris Wood, the winner of this year's BBC Folk Award for Singer of the year and Album of the year is heralded as the renaissance man of folk. His music combines narrative and melodies, with timeless lyrics that convey a strong connection with the English countryside and people, and vocals steeped in emotion.

 

THE UNKNOWN LAND: by Caroline Small

 

The year is 1844. A man answers a newspaper advertisement inviting him to join a ship bound for arctic waters, to explore the unknown wastes north of Greenland

 

What had he hoped to find? What drives him relentlessly on like Davis and Baffin before him?  Was there something in his past life that compelled him to travel to this inhospitable place? Or was it simply that he desired something - the fulfilment of some deep, unarticulated dream.

 

His experiences on the voyage, the loneliness, the strength-sapping treks across the ice and the merciless cold, change him forever. As his story unfolds, the certainties of his early life are stripped away and we see what really drives him as he comes face to face with death.
