hEARDROPS #21: 'Singing the Game', this project involved providing storyboards and illustrations.
Animation by Studio Verho. Concept by Musica Impulse Centre.
hEAR DROPS promotes collaboration between children and teachers based on shared criteria. The principle is simple: watch an episode together, discuss what you’ve seen and heard, watch again, interpret the rules of the game, discuss context and materials, perform together, evaluate together.
This episode with focus on the voice is the result of a collaboration between Musica and Stavanger University in the context of the Erasmus+ SenseSquared Project, co-funded by the EU.
Throughout the day we often make quite a lot of expressive sounds as we support many of our activities with voice. For example, to imitate other sounds, to illustrate a movement, to express joy, surprise, dissapointment or during a special effort. These sounds often lead to spontaneous good use of the voice, even in those who would otherwise not be inclined to sing. You can use these expressive sounds as a trigger to get from there to real singing. For example, imitating each other's voices can be a good exercise to warm up and even to get over your fear of singing together.
The colors for this episode have been based on the painting Deeske (1902) by the Flemish painter Gustave Van de Woestyne (one of my all-time favorites).
