Workshop description:

In this workshop, elements of Contact Dance will be integrated into the Roy Hart Centre voice work. Both approaches focus on listening with confidence to our body, to others and to the space around us. This enables dialogue without words, but with our voices and bodies – alone, as a duo, and in chorus.

We can sing, sound, dance, and improvise in physical contact with others, with respect for the “yes” and “no” in the contact. We will deepen the awareness of body sensations, listen to our bodily impulses, and each explore our own voice.

We will discover how body movements impact vocal expression and vice versa.

We will sing to those dancing and dance for those singing, developing listening and musicality. Each day will include warm-ups, small group piano work, and creative sessions. On Saturday evening we will have a jam session with sounds, dance, and music.

(Tuesday: 9h30-12h30 & 14h30- 17h30 /wednesday, thursday, friday, saturday : 9h30-13h & 15h- 18h. Sunday : 9h30-12h30)

I imagine teaching voice as accompanying someone on his or her journey into the self, which in turn opens him or her to the world. I guide individuals and groups on a creative journey to develop intuitive listening by awakening body and sensory awareness, thus opening an inner space for aesthetic, emotional and musical landscapes. It’s magical when a student feels the presence of something greater than himself and exclaims: ‘It feels like it’s not me singing!’

The voice work offers a possibility to connect and express without the logic of spoken words. It offers a relief from the conventions and conversations of daily life and a space where you can express your self – here and now – from the body and in tune with the emotions. It opens up to musicality and imagination. It invites you to listen to yourself in a new way and creates a bridge between the internal and the external world. The voice work touches what is deeply human.
