Zang – Youmi Bazoge en Emma Cousteix (Fr)

Deze zangworkshop is bedoeld voor ieder die plezier heeft in het zingen en meer wil leren over het gebruik van de stem en/of wil weten over traditionele liederen uit Frankrijk. Tijdens het Boombalfestival, in de backstage 5 minuten voordat Youmi het podium op moest om te spelen, ontstond terwijl we aan het wachten waren tot het podium vrij was het idee om deze zangworkshop te doen. Niet de beste timing, als je je hoofd moet richten op het te spelen concert. Maar we waren enthousiast en het plan voor de zangworkshop is later uitgewerkt.

Youmi schreef ons over deze workshop:
“During this workshop, I will offer you to learn some songs of my composition and covers from the repertoire that we play with the band Bargainatt. Songs to dance: waltz, Scottish, mazurka. Songs to be answered: Rond d’Argenton, Tricot, Ronde du Quercy.
We will combine the learning of these songs with body awareness exercises in order to develop and associate the sensations of the body and the voice. My friend Emma Cousteix will accompany us during this workshop to support group learning and bring her precious musical listening to our exchanges“

Niveau-eisen

Deelnemers hoeven geen opleidingen of eerdere workshops gevolgd te hebben. Deelnemers zijn niet bang om hun stem te gebruiken, maar veel zangervaring is niet nodig. Cursisten nemen best papier mee voor notities en één of ander opname-apparaat om voorbeelden en de samenzang op te nemen. De workshop wordt in het Engels gegeven.

Over Youmi Bazoge

Born in Decize in 1996, she grew up in a family of artists in the Cirque Pacotille, a small travelling troupe. She is homeschooled enriched by learning music, dance and different artistic disciplines such as juggling, acrobatics and clowning.
She began learning music in 2003 at the conservatory of Rodez where she took choir, violin and orchestra classes. At the same time, she took private singing lessons and participated in various musicals. In 2011, she joined the conservatory of Montpellier in contemporary dance and violin and practices traditional dances, songs and music at the same time.

In 2016 she set up the Bargainatt Quartet, a neo traditional dance music group where she evolves as a violinist and singer and begins to write and compose her own songs. She participates in various choreographic projects within several companies such as Les Gens du Quai, J’y Pense Souvent or Les Beaux Jours.
She created her company, the Compagnie Charlotte, in 2021 in order to develop projects linking dance, music and contemporary art, such as her solo show “L’Envol” or the performance and installation “Relier” with the visual artist Viviane Sagnier.

Over Emma Cousteix

Emma is passionate about traditional music, which she plays with the banjo, singing, dancing and, more recently, the fiddle. She has been immersed in it since childhood in Auvergne, in the association Les Brayauds, a regional center for traditional music and dance. Thanks to the association and its dance houses, she has been quickly on stage to make dance with the group Phonème, which started in 2017.

Eager for knowledge and reflection on her practice and wishing to move towards the profession of musician, she joined the higher education program at the Pôle Aliénor in Poitiers after leaving high school, which prepares her to obtain the DNSPM (National Higher Diploma for professional of music) in traditional music. During her studies, she spent a semester in Estonia to learn the traditional music of the country. At the same time, she formed the dance group La Jaunée, which mixes repertoires from Berry and the Massif Central. She also multiplies different experiences of giving workshops of dance, banjo courses or leanding a week-long stay for young people around traditional music called Trad’ados. Since she got her diploma in June 2024, she starts a career as a professional musician with new projects in progress: the creation of a standing concert set based on traditional music with a trio, new dance groups and cultural action projects with Les Brayauds.
