SIRKIS/BIALAS IQ - Spring Tour 2017: Breathing Rhythms Workshop at the Mathodist Church in Ashburton and the gig Nr. 8 at the St. Lawrence Chapel, Ashburton, UK

Good morning everybody!

Time to go back to the Venue for another workshop.

This time Asaf and Myself are running  "Breathing Rhythms" in Ashburton!

Warm shall, thick coat, thick socks, warm boots - ready to work! :-D

Handwarmers are ready too! Nothing can happen now!

My favorite red doors waiting for the participants!

The workshop was pretty big this time - around 20 participants came by!

Again - many nice and warm people  made our work very enjoyable. 

for your kindness, enthusiasm and having us in Ashburton. We hope you could take with you some new ideas for further work with rhythm and physical awareness while playing your instruments / singing... We will send you all the materials as soon as I`m ready with typing in your email addresses on my computer. 

Sorry that I did not manage to take any pictures of all of you this time - I was too absorbed by chatting with you in the break and after the workshop. Multitasking can be difficult ;-)...

Much love to all of you!

Sylwia & Asaf...

 

Ok dear peeps!

Time to drive to our evening gig at the beautiful St. Laurence Chapel.

 

Here is the venue:

 

Let`s start with the lighting ...

Soundcheck:

Our green room full of old trophies and photographies:

Time to eat something!

The gig was great but the audience was small this time. The chapel was nicely warmed but I have to admit that without knowing about this fact I, myself, would probably think twice before leaving a warm flat and going out in such weather to risk sitting in the cold... Anyway - the audience that was there was warm and responsive and we had a great time playing for them...

Packing the gear...

Last glance at the green room...

Saying good bye to our kind host!

Reflecting the sad Polish political situation seeing this picture...

and going back on the road...

At the hotel we were so tired that the only option for a meal was going to the Beefeater that was 20m far from us...

Our tired and hungry conversations became more and more abstract and funny...:

Me: This bull on the picture looks like a hippo. 

Kev: I wander If you can eat a hippo...

Frank : I doubt so. You`ll be eaten before you even try.

Asaf : ......silence....

Everybody: Laugh!

And I could really eat this sweetness here:

Dear Friends, time to sleep....

See you tomorrow in Shaldon!

 

Much love, Sylwia & The Sirkis/Bialas IQ
