About

"MOVED BY VOICE"  In the workshop we will meet ourselves differently from how we know ourselves in everyday life through discovering many diverse voices that are kept in our body. We will go through the process of shifting the awareness towards inner listening and tuning in with our own emotional streams and body impulses. By listening closely we can get to know more deeply not only ourselves, but also our own voice material, expressions and songs already within us.


June workshop: VOICE – IMPROVISATION
The voice workshop in June will focus on improvisation and on creating rhythmical patterns, compositions, melodies as well as songs. Whatever we do, whatever happens in our bodies – every gesture, exhale, tone in the voice … – has a rhythm. Every sound, word or utterance already has a tone and a melody. By bringing awareness to natural breath and to a relaxed alignment of the body, our focus will be to try and listen to – and hear – the voice we speak with daily; only when we are able to listen to and hear ourselves, are we able to start working with voice.
