01.10.2016 A 4h Workshop `Breathing Rhythms` for instrumentalists and singers at the Sage in Newcastle Gateshead

October 04, 2016 / Sylwia Bialas

Good morning my Friends!

Another workshop day and a gig in the evening ahead of us! We`re very much looking forward to both! It will be awesome to get the band complete tonight as well! :-).

There`s so much to share with you that I decided to divide this day into 2 separate blog posts ;-)!

Here we go!

Newcastle in daylight:

Newcastle is definitely on of the most architecturally wild cities I`ve seen in UK. Large industrial areas, old fashioned style freely mixed with modern and futuristic style. Art mixed with factory style and a huge pallete of colors involved. The weather and light have an immense impact on the outfit of the buildings and the flair of the city.

I`d like to show you The Sage (a place of our workshop) from inside:

"Presented by creative producers Wild in Art, working in partnership with St Oswald’s Children’s Hospice, Great North Snowdogs will bring together businesses, artists, schools and community groups to create a public art trail of beautiful Snowdog sculptures, based on the story The Snowman and The Snowdog, by Raymond Briggs."

Here some more pics of the Snowdoggies :-):

Asaf in front of the workshop-space. A very serious face today... ;-):

One of the rooms booked for the workshops. It looks very black & white from this perspective, but on the opposite walls I`ve found some colorful treasures painted by some kids.

Hahah, this cat has obviously some serious stomach ache :-). Cute paintings...:-):

Hah! I spotted a lonely dwarf among the Sage - labirynths!. I wish I could catch this wide smile he gave me after I took this picture :-D

Something tells me that we were close to some facilities for kids ;-)

We had a worky and very enjoyable workshop with some adult, very attendive and really nice participants. Unfortunately I was too busy to take any pictures during teaching. We invited everybody to our gig with Sirkis/Bialas IQ at the Globe tonight! Many thanks to the organizer of the workshop and to all the participants! Hoping to see you tonight at the Globe!

Let`s move now to the parking place at the roof of the building! You got to see those views!
