Stage Presence for Musicians

13—14.NOVEMBER.2021 • 10:30 - 5:30

Reboot: Stage Presence for Musicians

This weekend artist development workshop starts from the premise that stage presence is something you can work at, not simply something you are born with. This workshop will help musicians at all stages of their career understand how they come across on stage, what unconscious cues we send to an audience by the way we present ourselves (whether from over exuberance or inhibition) and how an awareness of your own physicality can help all round musicianship.

Led by Co-Artistic Director of Clod Ensemble, Suzy Willson and Co-Founder of Manchester Collective Rakhi Singh

This is open to musicians of all genres, whether you are self-taught, classically trained or anywhere in between. Bring your instrument with you along with two minutes of music to perform.

Dates: Saturday 13 & Sunday 14th November, 10.30am-5pm. Participants should be available to attend both sessions.

Location: Clod Ensemble Studios, Design District, Greenwich Peninsula

Reboot supports artists by providing a high-quality programme of professional development. We recognise that even subsidised costs can be a barrier to participate.

This event is part of a programme of events surrounding Clod Ensemble’s performance This is My Room.

Here we see a photograph taken in a warehouse space. There are four figures in the picture. One of them is a photographer facing away from us who is wearing a black shirt and green trousers. They are taking a photo of three models wearing bright yellow and green outfits. The photographer is on the left of the image while the models are on the right.

This is a photograph of Charlie Kelly. Charlie is stood on a city street and is looking directly at the camera. Only her torso is in shot. Charlie is wearing large hooped earrings, a nose ring on the right side and a black sleeveless top. We cannot see her legs. She has her hair in a ponytail and has a slight smile. The background behind her is blurred, but we can make out someone on a mobile phone behind her, several people walking further away in the shot, a rainbow flag hanging from the building behind her and a row of shops going to an angle with the closer shops on the right hand side of the image.

This is a black-and-white photograph of Felicity Hall. Felicity is standing next to a wall in what appears to be a music venue. The wall is covered with several photographs of musicians, mainly piano players, with light coming from out of frame to the right of the photograph and from a lamp on the wall. She is smiling, standing up, has her arms folded, and is looking out to the right of the photograph. Between her and the camera there are two people sat down looking in the same direction as her, there are two glasses on a table, and there is a large pillar.

Here we have a photograph of Uniq Being, the musician and teacher who will be leading this workshop for Clod Ensemble. The image features Uniq Being close up to the camera. She is wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap, a blue overshirt, a darker blue undershirt, glasses, necklaces and a black strap over bag. We cannot see her legs. She is standing against a yellow background with her hands in her pockets.

This is a black-and-white photograph of Ambra Vernuccio, a photographer. She is facing towards the camera but stood at an angle and is taking a photograph of someone else. She is holding an old-style flash bulb to the sky with her left hand and holding a camera to her right eye with her right hand. She is smiling. She is wearing a black dress with a belt at the waist, and she also has a strap over bag over her left shoulder. Behind her we see people dressed up in glamorous clothing for a burlesque show, though this image appears to have been taken backstage rather than during a performance.

An Introduction to Backstage Photography
A photo of Pembe Tokluhan, the founder of Petok Productions and Clod Ensemble’s Production and Engagement Coordinator. Pembe is looking down to the floor while coiling a microphone cable. The coiled cable is held in her right hand while the end of the cable is held in her left hand. She is facing to the left of the picture, and in front of her we can see a theatre curtain pulled back, meaning she is looking out from the stage to a venue. It is dark behind her. There is a microphone stand before her in the photo, which is out of focus.

A shot of the side of stage at Sadlers Wells, with the door to outside open so that the street is visible. It is dark outside and we can see a street lamp. The inside of the theatre is dimly lit and we see a collection of technical equipment - a sound desk, a laptop, a chair and a collection of theatre lamps on stands.
