What happens in the interaction between a conductor and a singer? Who leads and who allows themselves to be led? What delicate interactions are at play? And can we use these experiences in other contexts?

Tenor Alok Kumar and conductor Maria Badstue, with pianist Soundarie David Rodrigo, run the workshop Lead & Collaborate. The participants of the workshop get a unique insight into what happens in the meeting and collaboration between a professional singer and a professional conductor. Together we explore what it means to listen to ourselves and to each other, as we experience the shared space we create.

This promises to be an engaging and revelatory event with a high degree of audience involvement. An experience that offers an insight into collaborative dynamics, the discoveries can be carried far beyond the performance venue.
