Objective
Tension inhibits sound. Our voice is in our whole body. Many of the muscles we use in sound-making are directly connected to our nervous system.
How might we locate and create a sense of safety, comfort, and ease while exploring the edges of our range in vocal practice and play?
In this workshop, we will explore the intimate interconnections between our voice, body, and nervous system. A wild animal is comfortable and free in its own element. Our focus together will be to build this ground of comfort and freedom. We will work slowly, using awareness and breath to support the release of sound towards both singing and speech.
Content
We will weave together embodied vocal practices towards both singing and speech. We’ll emphasize self-reflection while also incorporating group activities to gain insight into our individual vocal habits and patterns. Our goal is to explore new possibilities for experimentation, regardless of where we currently are in our journey.
