RAISE YOUR VOICE!

Are you aged between 18-25 and passionate about storytelling, music, and enjoy a little drama? Ready to raise your voice and have fun doing it? Join us for a special workshop led by Jersey-born opera singer Georgia Mae Bishop that’s all about the voice, music, local stories, and YOU! 

This isn't your traditional approach to opera - this is about rediscovering opera as an art form that belongs to everyone! Explore opera’s silly, fun, and deeply moving ways to bring your stories to life. No prior experience is required - just bring your enthusiasm, creativity, and your voice. 

What can you expect? 

● Gentle pace for everyone to contribute in whatever way they can. 

● Light vocal and physical warm-up. 

● Exercise your voice and learn to sing intuitively without sheet music. 

● Receive a practical introduction to interpreting, writing, and performing graphic scores using visual symbols, rather than traditional musical notation. 

● Experiment and collaborate to bring your stories to life through improvisation. 

Why join? 

● Boost your mood and reduce stress through the power of group singing. 

● Gain new skills in music, drama, and storytelling. 

● Have fun, meet awesome people, and form lasting local connections. 

● Experiment, innovate, and redefine what opera can be. 

● Be the first to take part in a bigger project coming in 2025.
