ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Danielle will work with a select number of participants, on song which they have previously prepared for the workshop. As there are only 10 Participants for the workshop, each person will recieve a generous amount of time to work on their performance. The workshop itself aims to have a relaxing and supportive atmosphere, allowing participants to feel safe to experiment and try out new things with Danielle.
The workshop will last for 4 hours, with a short break midway through. Each participant will have the opportunity to 'audition' for Danielle, ad recieve instant feedback on their performance.
Observers will be encouraged to be actively involved, invited to ask questions and support those who are singing in the workshop.
