Workshop description:

“Lament” is a wide word encompassing an expansive variety of physical and vocal expression, including grief, complaint, rage, sorrow songs, styles of Celtic keening, Blues songs, ancient Greek exclamations, and communal and solo expressions of them all. Our “Deep Song” workshop celebrates the variety of emotional and vocal colors expressed in joy and lamentation and provides a way for the performer to deepen personal connections to themselves, their passions, and the ability to express them artfully. Our workshop will offer songs, sounds, and styles practiced around the globe.

Included are:
– Breathing exercises
– Vocal training and extended range
– Physical / vocal preparation for the expressions of lamentation
– A range of vocal and physical forms, ornaments, and utterances of grief and joy, from laughter to lament
– Group and solo improvisations
– Interpretation of song and text
– Polyphonic singing
– Individual work in small group classes

My very first experience of the Roy Hart voice work was in 1988 when I had my first individual lesson with Marita Günther. The joy of life and love entered into my voice. Now it has become my life and my passion to accompany people into the singing process. Singing means much more to me than the actual producing of a sound. It is a deep process of self-reflection, self-confidence and self-knowledge. For me my work is energetic work on all levels, combined with deep and passionate emotions to reveal the inner flow of life and love.

Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 2010
The Roy Hart approach offers each person a generous invitation to explore, express and celebrate the fullness of their humanity through the embodied voice and its fullest potential. Through sounding and singing we magnify our vision and assumptions about life and art, and open new pathways to expand vocally, physically, emotionally, and artistically. The foundation of my teaching is a commitment to nonjudgmental engagement with each student as I support their artistic vision, personal journey, and pace of learning with deep listening, open hearted acceptance, and a trust in the individual and their unique process.
