10/26/19 Workshops: (Violin w/ S. Gibons, Takoma Park, MD), & (Flamenco Communication for dancers, singers, and guitarists w/ Wendy Clinard & Marija Temo, D.C)
Gibons uses ideas that will be familiar to string players with classical training to bridge the gap between the worlds of written music and that of improv. The workshop also accommodates a wide variety of skill levels by scaling the complexity of the melodic lines and rhythmic harmony parts we use to the participants comfort. At the very minimum, students must be fluent enough on their instrument to play
scales in first position with two accidentals. There is no maximum requirement. European Gypsy music, Gypsy Jazz, Middle Eastern music, and American Songbook jazz standards are the genres used as a base for the workshop repertoire. These all share many aspects of improvisation technique. All parts are learned by ear.

Breaking Boundaries in Flamenco Symposium Oberlin College Campus March 13-16, 2019
A symposium featuring international guest artists & speakers breaking conceptual and cultural boundaries. This weekend of interdisciplinary performances, presentations, and dialogue centers on experimental flamenco across the Americas. It focuses on the socio-political and economic resources that shape flamenco as a globalized and commercialized form, and the creative and cultural frameworks artists currently utilize to resist social and economic limitations. The event aims to generate new perspectives on the underlying political structures shaping flamenco, and diversify Oberlin’s cultural offerings for students and the community.
Sponsored by the following Oberlin College departments: Dance, Politics, GSFS, Hispanic Studies, and Ethnomusicology, as well as The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Grant for the Oberlin Center for Languages and Cultures and The Ellen Johnson Fund for Contemporary Art and the Dean of Students
