SUMMARY:Grant Event - Theatre Tools for Musicians
DESCRIPTION:For Zoom Link: Contact Rita Warton \nPresenting District: Lincoln County \nPresenter: Dr. Lisa Neher[expand title=”Read Presenter Bio” swaptitle=” “]New music powerhouse Dr. Lisa Neher is an award-winning composer\, mezzo-soprano\, and actress on a mission to transform audiences through sound\, story\, and vulnerability. Described as a “visionary composer” (Willamette Week)\, “maestro of beautifully wacky noises” (Oregon ArtsWatch)\, and a composer of “varied and imitable” vocal lines (Contemporary Classical)\, Neher writes music inspired by female athleticism\, the tender love of friends\, the ambiguities of death\, and the eerie mystery of deep ocean life. Her EP Of Wind and Waves explores the currents of air\, water\, and emotions that define our natural and psychological world. Neher’s works have been performed by Third Angle New Music\, Fear No Music\, Opera Elect\, Opera Theatre Oregon\, Dinosaur Annex\, the Cortona Sessions for New Music\, Delgani String Quartet\, Choral Arts Ensemble\, and others across the United States and Europe. She is the winner of the ICDA/ICF Choral Competition and the Mirror Visions Ensemble Young Composer Competition\, and is a NATS Composer Mentee\, working with Tom Cipullo. \nPraised as “a small woman with a very big voice” and “especially alive” (Oregon ArtsWatch)\, Neher captivates audiences as a performer with her electrifying dramatic commitment and unforgettable vocal colors. Her performance credits include Really Spicy Opera\, Third Angle New Music\, the Resonance Ensemble\, New Music Gathering\, Queer Opera\, the International Saxophone Symposium\, and Opera Theatre Oregon. She created the roles of Jennifer in Chamber Sounds of Singapore’s world premiere of One Thousand Paper Cranes for Japan by Rita Ueda\, Julian of Norwich in Brook Joyce’s monodrama the Showing of Love\, and the protagonist in Space Station 189\, a sci-fi opera for Instagram by JL Marlor and Aiden Feltkamp. Neher is the curator of the One Voice Project\, which champions unaccompanied solo vocal performance. \nNeher is a sought-after clinician on topics including composing for singers\, networking\, music business and entrepreneurship\, acting for singers and theatre tools for musicians. She teaches each year at the Ultimate Music Business Summit and is an instructor and Executive Team member for Toolbox Sessions. Her thriving private studio provides graduate-level education and mentorship in singing\, composition\, and career building for musicians from Australia to Europe. Neher holds degrees from the University of Iowa (DMA)\, University of Kansas (MM)\, and Lewis & Clark College (BA). She is an alumnus of the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music and the Cortona Sessions for New Music. She spends her free time training for triathlons\, watching science fiction movies\, and baking delicious treats involving copious amounts of chocolate. Her last name is pronounced “NEER.” For more information\, visit her website\, www.lisanehermusic.com.[/expand] \nProgram Description: In this workshop\, we will explore movement and expression tools from the theatre tradition[expand title=”Read More” swaptitle=”]and how to apply those to the work we do as musicians and music teachers. Topics include stage presence\, physical awareness and relaxation\, bowing\, listening\, receiving\, and responding to energy\, finding contrast through levels\, tapping into emotion and expression using acting tools of emotional recall and creative substitution. You will leave with exercises you can use with your students in lessons and group classes.[/expand]
