A chance to experience a non-UK winter tradition: this Icelandic reindeer herding song comes courtesy of Open Stage Arts (OSA). It was arranged and performed at a Christmas singing workshop last year.
Usually based in Rose Hill (but online for the time being), OSA's instructors are Oxford-based professional actors, directors, singers and vocal coaches who want you to enjoy their craft as much as they do. They use knowledge and enthusiasm to bring out your creativity in a relaxed environment, through classes designed to be fun, friendly and pressure-free.
If you enjoyed the song then check out Creativity Found, Open Stage Arts' podcast where founder Claire Waite Brown chats to professional creatives across a wide range of disciplines in Oxford, particularly those who (re-)discovered their talents later in life.
You can also show your appreciation by making a donation through Ko-fi to keep the project thriving through this difficult time.
