Handpan Workshop

The Music and Consciousness workshop is for beginners with Tilo Wachter

Dates : Saturday 19.07. 11am-5pm and Sunday 20.07. 10am-4pm

Fees: Handpan – Workshop (12-hour intensive, max. 8 participants): 270.00

Rental instruments are available on request. (For both days: 30€.)

We cover the following themes – Listening to music through the body and breathing – Flow improvisation framework – Basic strokes & coordination – Every ‘mistake’ is an idea – Is the handpan an instrument for me?

The first encounter and initiation (up to a year’s experience) into playing the handpan is experienced as a global process: perception of the body, breathing and ‘listening without prejudice’ lead us towards musical flow!

However simple the handpan may seem at first, it invites us to take new paths. We use this invitation as a chance to explore new sounds and movements with a ‘beginner’s mind’, listening in amazement: You can hear your own music resonating.

In this workshop, I use elements of trauma-sensitive coaching, music therapy and ‘Gestalt-therapie’ as well as breathing and bodywork. It is therefore an ideal introduction for all music, body, psychological and trauma therapists who wish to integrate music as a medium into their work.

Pizzica- Dance Workshop

La Pizzica is a popular dance from southern Italy. The two-day course, under the professional guidance of Elena Gianini, is aimed at dance enthusiasts with or without prior knowledge. Pizzica is a dance that can be seen as a journey towards oneself through the expressive power of the body, carried along by music and ancestral rhythms. Pizzica is danced together, by groups or couples, both male and female. Pizzica steps are small, combined with twirls and small jumps. The class begins by warming up the body, exploring the basic elements of dance in harmony: space, dynamics and relationships. We then move on to direct practice of basic steps, style and body posture. 

Elena Gianini teaches Pizzica Pizzica in Switzerland. She trained in classical, contemporary, flamenco and popular dance.
She trained in Pizzica for several years, taking part in a long series of classes given by a number of renowned dancers: Andrea de Siena, Fabrizio Nigro, Veronica Calati, Stefano Campana, Maristella Martella, Tarantarte, Silvia De Ronzo , Moira Cappilli, Anna Dego, Maria Piscopo, Angela Esposito, Tullja Conte and Mattia Doto, Rachele Andrioli.

For those travelling from afar: the château has a limited number of accommodation options. Registration required, number of places limited.
