Claire Gilbert - Kidzone
Co-ordinator, will welcome children and
their carers to the Kidzone, and provide continuity throughout
the day, with the help of a volunteer at all times, although
we must emphasise that this is not a creche. People with
children are very welcome to bring things that will make
the area comfortable and attractive to children, and generally
hang out, to help create a warm space. Look out for some
real treats throughout the day, from our talented team of
performers, including Claire, who will do a music workshop
at 3.30pm.

Claire Gilbert - Children's Music Workshop
I will perform (sing and play the guitar)
my original songs for young children (and the young at heart)
themed mainly about animals and the natural world, healthy
vegan eating, good fun and positive living. I will bring
a large variety of percussion instruments for children to
play and join in with and some fun props and puppets too.
We will also move around and dance with scarves/ ribbons
and learn about/ try out some different instruments and
sounds.
Claire qualified as a nursery nurse in 1991 and has worked
with young children for 20 years in many different settings.
She now works as an early years music teacher visiting schools
and nurseries and running parent and child music groups.
She started writing new songs for children with positive
themes about healthy eating, various animals and the natural
world and some just for fun! She collaborated with good
friend and multi instrumentalist Paul Forrest to make the
album "Good Natured Music" in November 2009. It
features 12 songs (10 original /2 adapted arranged) all
played on real acoustic instruments in folk styles from
around the world. We wanted to create real music with educational
themes that would capture young children's interest as an
alternative to the cheaply made synthesised music that's
often made for children these days. The album has since
been enjoyed by children all over the world!

Milli Moonstone - Voice Magic with
Games & Songs
Explore the magical power of your voice
through musical games and songs. The movement of the body
and the vibration of our own sounds, in harmony with others,
will lead us to the aim: to feel connected with ourselves,
each other, and the world - and in the process - lets have
fun! Welcome to everyone, whether you consider yourself
a singer or not.
Milli is a singer, composer and multi-instrumentalist
with over 20 years experience. With a strong foundation
in Western classical music and a BA in Asian and African
music, her studies have progressed into the healing and
unifying properties of music; she has recently been certified
in Music Therapy at Roehampton Summer School and performs
with ecstatic dance band URUBU. She is also deeply inspired
by physical forms of expression: as a storytelling yoga
and music teacher, actress in soon-to-be-released Hindi
movie ì2 Nights in Soul Valleyî (in which her
songs also feature) and regular attendee of ecstatic dance
sessions, she incorporates aspects of these different areas
of expression into her approach. |
