Dates : 15th to 19th August 2012
Venue : Village Luniyakhedi, which is 15 min from Maksi railway junction, 1 hour by bus/taxi from Dewas or Ujjain junctions, and 2 hours from Indore.
Workshop details :
The aim of the workshop is to bring about a deeper understanding of the poetry and philosophy of Kabir through the music of Malwa.
Prahladji Tipanya , one of the foremost singers of Kabir poetry in Malwa region will conduct this workshop with the help of other members of his group. The workshop will seek to foster an understanding of :
1. The Message of Kabir - Through talks, interactive discussions and films an understanding of the words of Kabir as well as their relevance to current times will be highlighted. Discussions based on important themes like identity, guru, impermanence, Nirgun etc will help to bring about an understanding of Kabir's view on the same.
2.The Music of Malwa : Singing Kabir is a very important part of this workshop. Songs/ Bhajans based on a theme will first be and then sung in the Malwa folk music style. The words percolate straight to the heart when they are sung with understanding and we hope to learn at least 10 songs during this workshop. Prior training in music is not a pre-requisite for attending this workshop.
3. Folk Instruments : Hands on experience of playing the tambur, dholak , khadtal or manjira. Each participant shall have the opportunity to try their hand at these instruments that are commonly used as accompaniments to folk music.
Apart from these, the workshop will be an opportunity to spend time in a rural atmosphere where the folk music forms a part of the fabric of life. To sing amidst the fields, to spend quiet time talking to Prahladji, to watch rain falling on open land as far as the eye can see, to strum the tambur and feel your heart quieten in response,to ride a tractor, to draw water from the well..... come join us to do all this and more....
Group size : Max.12 participants.
Workshop cost : Rs. 7000 per person ( includes accommodation and all meals ). Does not include transportation to and from Lunyakhedi, Bottled water or any other expenses of a personal nature .
