UPCOMING WORKSHOPS:
Voice Lab: Embodied vocal techniques for movers
The body and voice are inseparable—they are creative collaborators, connected symbiotically through anatomy, instinct, imagination. In this workshop, we use full-bodied movement to develop diaphragmatic support and discover the sensual, energetic relationship between body, breath and voice—we body-source sound. A constellation of corporeal exercises integrating principles from contemporary dance, somatic techniques and extended voice work combines technical conditioning tools with free, imaginative improvisation, touching upon text, song and paralinguistics. Approaching the voice as pnevma—both breath and spirit—we work to release tension, cultivate presence, and unearth the naturally free and expressive voices we were born with.
