This workshop aims to liberate the creative imagination of each participant to give form to ideas, songs, and texts through music, theatre, or dance.
Interpretation demands a vibrant synthesis of mind and spontaneity, technical control and expressive freedom. The art is the ability to discern, make choices, and accept one’s limitations when confronted by a wealth of material that may emerge during the research process.

PROGRAMME:
Physical preparation and work using the space – work in small groups – improvisation – individual work on the projects brought by each participant.
- Source and Expansion: Daily sessions begin with a progressive physical preparation based on different techniques, which encourage a free and dynamic release of the breath, voice and body : articulation of the spinal column, pelvis, rib cage, etc., as well as a fluid and inventive relationship to the moving body in space.
- Individual Voice work in small groups: Individual voice work is both technical and expressive, adapting to each participant’s experience, needs, and dreams. The aim is for each participant to discover and enrich her/his/their meaningful sound, as well as creating a firm foundation from which to explore and create. Time is given to explore unknown timbres and textures, and their relationship, singing, text, and emotion.The liberated wildness of raw voice will be encouraged in improvisations, as well as the subtle flexibility and nuance of the melodic voice.
- Preparation of material and Interpretation: The first three afternoons will be dedicated to the preparation of the artistic material brought by each participant finding with particular attention to the musical level of each participant. The last three afternoons will be discovering insights into the interpretation of the material. This is individual work with the important support of the group bearing witness.
- Group singing: The day will end with the whole group together in either harmonic singing or group improvisations.
