Confident, curious, creative, having fun in finding solutions and exploring what is behind the next corner. Finding the flow is the way to fun, deep concentration and creativity and in a group context also faelleskab and teamwork. In the workshop we will talk about the most important 2 minutes of your choir rehearsal and introduce you to some of our favourite icebreaker games including games that train rhythm and groove in combination with singing. Icebreakers are games and exercises that break the ice between people of all ages using singing, music, movement and playing to get there. Icebreakers provide a framework for social interaction and strengthens the feelings of trust and community in a group while also training basic musicality like rhythm, coordination, ear training and creativity.
