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, nervous system, and kinesthetic relationship to language. Beginning with breath, we will move slowly using sound, movement, and improvisation to support the freeing of sound for both singing and speech. Together, we will study how both individual and shared vocal practices may lead us to discover more of our multifaceted selves and deepen our appreciation of others.
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.
This workshop is suitable for anyone interested in using their voice for performance, singing, public speaking, or even in everyday situations. No previous training or experience is required.
