The workshop is open to adults and older teenagers (17 years and over - you may be asked for proof of age) and will be held at the Manning Entertainment Centre on Saturday February 10 from 1pm to 5pm (PLEASE ARRIVE AT 12.30PM FOR REGISTRATION) and Sunday February 11 from 9am to 4pm.
Participants can expect to learn and develop performance skills in voice, singing, characterisation, analysing a song, working with a team, and interpreting a song.
This is a superb and rare opportunity to learn from one of Australia's best known and respected performers, and numbers are strictly limited.
It is particularly valuable for anyone thinking of auditioning for the upcoming Taree Arts Council production of "Les Misérables" and future productions.
Peter leads singing workshops all around the country, and shares his thoughts about his craft in a blog on his website: www.petercousens.com.
In one entry entitled “What is ‘successful singing’?” he writes: “Success is measured in so many different ways. It certainly could be fame and fortune. But in my thinking, singing ‘success’ is the measure of the power a singer has over an audience. The extent to which the singer is able to move, inspire and change the inner life of the listener. That is success and the true purpose of singing. Singing is a powerful vehicle for ideas.”
