Vocal Workshops

We are an informal and friendly group who meet in one of the studios at the Cockpit Theatre to develop our skills and confidence in a relaxed environment. We will go through a few exercises and try out some: improvisation, script work, duologues or monologues, with participants optionally bringing their own material or pieces to work on together. The exercises and things we work on differ from week to week. Beginners are welcome. The workshop is led by Mark Ramsay, a trained actor with almost 30 years of film and stage experience with occasional assistance from a guest facilitator. Venue: The Cockpit Theatre, Marylebone, Gateforth St, London NW8 8EH, Studio 2 (Upstairs) **Time: 18:30 to 20:30** Cost: £7 for the room hire, payable at the venue in cash **If no longer attending please update RSVP**

Sunday 10/05: VICTORIA OLIVELLA’S Workshops + Milonga **We are so honoured to welcome back, this Sunday, the maestra and Worldwide Tango Salon Vice Champion VICTORIA OLIVELLA (Buenos Aires), who will be teaching at Los Angelitos an exclusive class, and celebrate with us at the milonga.** **Victoria Olivella** is an Argentine tango dancer and teacher recognised for her elegance, musicality, and strong technical foundation. She gained international attention as the **World Vice Champion of Tango in 2022**, a title that established her among the leading figures of the contemporary tango scene. She came so close to being world champion – at this level, the difference between sub-champion and world champion is infinitesimal ;-). Known for her refined style and expressive interpretation, Olivella performs and teaches at festivals and events across Europe and beyond, often partnering with renowned dancers. Her teaching is especially appreciated for being clear, warm, and practical, focusing on technique, connection, and musical awareness developed through years of experience. You will find her teaching impressively warm and useful, giving tips that she developed in her dancing along the years. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the best tango has to offer. **[CHECK MORE ABOUT VICTORIA & HER FULL PROGRAMME IN LONDON](https://tanguito.co.uk/events/victoria-olivella-at-tanguito-in-2026/)** **PROGRAMME TODAY:** Victoria will teach with Bruno both classes. We will start with he beginner / improver lesson on the theme of the ***Sanguchito***, and follow with the 3pm ***Fabulous Sanguchito & Quebrada combinations***: push the boundaries of what you can do with this classic and learn the tricks and technique from a vice champion to make them to die for – well not that far but almost ;-). Your milonga Los Angelitos will follow, for all to enjoy. What a feast!

I am proud to announce that we having our jam at the Temple Of Art & Music in Elephant & Castle!! Chord Flow: A structured improvisation session where players explore a shared chord progression and key, creating music organically in the moment. Lineup (on stage together): • 2 guitarists • 1 bass • 1 drummer • 1–2 singers • 1 additional instrument (sax, trumpet, percussion, etc.) How It Works: 1. A simple chord progression and its key are written on a whiteboard opposite the stage. 2. The group has 5 minutes on stage to explore the progression together. 3. Tempo, time signature, style, and chord changes are left open — the music’s direction is determined by the group. 4. When the timer starts, the music begins. Musicians respond to each other in real time, building the flow organically. 5. No planning or discussion — focus on listening, reacting, and creating a shared musical experience. 6. After 5 minutes, the group rotates and a new set of musicians begin. The Temple Of Art and Music is a live music venue and bar in Elephant & Castle so I encourage anyone attending to bring friends as it will be great fun for them even if they are not playing. The venue has a PA system, drum kit, mics and guitar/bass amps. There is no guarantee that there will be cymbals or drum accessories with the drum kit at the venue. Drummers please being your own if you can. Like all our other jams it will be a chance to jam with other musicians playing the music that you love in a gentle environment with no judgement and no pressure. This jam also uniquely gives the opportunity to play in front of a crowd! Tickets are **£10 online** message us let us know what instrument you play and we will confirm if there is space and send you the Eventbrite link for the jam. Please do not hesitate to contact me for more information about this jam and London Jam Sessions. At London Jam Sessions we have an active community on WhatsApp where we all discuss the upcoming jams and future events. Everyone in the community is encouraged to ask questions and bring forward new ideas. Dm me and I can add you to our Whatsapp group.
