Art Lab, from creation to performance: workshop on creative writing, interpretation, arrangement and live performance
Serena Brancale offers Art Lab, an innovative educational course dedicated to songwriting and developing one’s creativity.
Song-writing, the world of the songwriter
How do you write a song?
What is the starting point, the lyrics or the music?
Taking a cue from a harmonic base, one works on the realization of one’s own unreleased song keeping in mind:
- the musical idea–the focus of the unreleased, the sound and the musical reality to which it belongs. Analysis of points and cues between genres and songwriters.
- the text to be set to music–analysis of the text and development of its expressive potential, refinement of periods using synonyms, antonyms and rhymes. Metrics, musicality, and content.
- cues to create … listening moments dedicated to historical songwriters as opposed to modern language. Creativity as the protagonist of work.
Arrangement and production
Development of own original arrangement idea.
Live performance: the voice
Work on repertoire related to one’s own listening, studies and musical culture. Interpretation, interplay, improvisation.
Art Lab, 36-hour workshop, weekly meetings of 90 minutes each, starting in January 2019
Training credits for academic courses: 6 CFAs
