About the workshop
The workshop is intended for all singers and instrumentalists, even actors, who enjoy or even fear singing. Maggie's singing techniques, and not least her loving, free and totally unpredictable authenticity, can open anyone up to the joy of singing together, no matter how knotty the vocal cords might be. Maggie has a rare ability to perform, sing, tap dance and teach at the same time.

There is a strong focus on singing and vocal techniques, but acoustic instruments (brass, reed’s and strings) are welcome. No equipment!

Space is unlimited, but please register via the RMC website to allow for catering and room size.



About Maggie Nicols
As a freely improvised vocalist, Maggie Nicols joined London's legendary Spontaneous Music Ensemble in 1968. She then became active as an organiser of voice workshops and became deeply involved in community-based experimental theatre.

Over the years, Nicols has collaborated with other women's groups, such as the Changing Women Theatre Group, and scored a prime-time TV series, Women in Sport.
