***  #Compact MDBrunch  ***

MDBrunch is excited to gather Vocal Leaders for a "compact" and targeted day of learning AND singing joy!

Singers - your stream will follow the main music rehearsals and your carousel workshops will all be targeted at you as a group of singers!!  We will direct you through the day.  Get learning the arrangement now!!

#Compact will provide expert practitioners delivering focused workshops on frequently experienced rehearsal challenges, in a safe and supportive environment.  We are proud to partner with phenomenal artists to provide a truly exciting day culminating in a mini performable mashup of 'Ain't Nobody' and 'Crazy in Love' with full staging that you can access with your own groups.

Quick Overview of the Daya headliner movement workshop, 3 'fast dive' workshops in a carousel, a good length singing session which also incorporates movement to create a strong performance finale.  We have also built in some time for some networking.

What is MDBrunch?
https://www.mdbrunch.uk/about-us

MDBrunch is a skills sharing, training, networking and support organisation for people who make singing happen (MDs).  Through events we aim to both create a community for this often lonely profession and also promote the vital health and well-being work that we do for the communities around us and the impact our work has.  Having grown over the last 6 years, MDBrunch now has a steering group led by Mel Field (Events Director) and Naveen Arles BCA (Founding Director).  We are proud to now deliver vocal leader and teacher training around the world alongside, #MondayMornings (monthly online sessions), #Intensive (annual full weekend of vocal leader training and networking) and Choirs@TheTower Festival that we run annually in the Tower of London!

We are looking forward to meeting you there and if you have any queries, get in touch!  mdbrunchuk@gmail.com
