CD Coming Soon!

DVD Coming Soon

Music, Art & Design Workshops

Yesterday's double-workshop with music , art/photography & design was very productive, and good fun...

5 dads, 5 partners & 5 children all contributed loads to the day, and a new track, designs for a Dads logo, CD label, DVD label and box print were all agreed.

Some of the people doing their Arts Award planned or led activities - ranging from teaching beat-boxing to taking photos for the logo design (very challenging, as it involved 2 toddlers standing still at the same time!) to leading a team-game "Art or Not Art?" that generated some interesting discussions and the observation that the boys  team and girls team worked quite differently as groups! We're still thinking about where/what to go and see for our visit to an arts event... and whether to go for a family day or parents evening activity.

The CD will soon be duplicated, and the film in about a month's time. Next workshop (May) we'll be watching the final version of the film, and producing the promotional postcard/flier and the Dads 2009 calendar. Quite a few people would like to go for a picnic and take photos out in the park/fields. Markus is looking for possible sponsors to help with printing - so if you know anyone who may be able to contribute or help in exchange for a bit of publicity for their own business or organisation, then please put them in touch! 

Music Workshop -Video Preview! - 'Proud to be a young dad'

Yesterday's music technology workshop with Alex Lupo saw several Dads working on a second track about life as a young Dad. Lyrics were written during the day - there's a preview of some of the vocals being recorded. (But blogger doesn't seem to be working to upload videos - I'll try again another day...)

Meanwhile, in another part of the room, other Dads & partners were busy designing the cover for the CD of the 2 Dads Matter tracks.... coming soon!
