Kaleidoscope: The First Workshop
Channel: Braden Allison
Date: 26/11/2021

This recording is a workshopped production of 'Kaleidoscope', a quirky song cycle that goes through each hour of the day telling the stories of humans and different elements/forces of nature.

The music and lyrics are by Braden Allison and contains a piece featuring words by Ugo Foscolo, Bertolt Brecht, Federico García Lorca, and Arthur Rimbaud.

This video is an extension of the workshop in some ways, so attached is a link to a google form 'Talk Back'. Would love to hear some feedback!
