Workshop Description:
Grounded in solid vocal technique, infused with traditional singing styles and supported by the »extended« vocal practice of the Roy Hart Centre, this workshop explores the deep humanity and rich expressiveness of ecstatic voice and ritual lamentation practices.
Unboundaried Voice invites us into the language and expression of our »deep song«; it encompasses and celebrates the vast array of emotional and vocal colors expressed in lamentation and keening practices across the globe – from ancient Greece to the present day.
This workshop invites you to discover your personal voice of exultation, praise, and joy; of protest, resistance, and challenge; of yearning, sorrow, and grief; of devotion, hope and healing applied to story, sound or song. Raise your voice and deepen your connection to your Self, your passions, and your ability to express them artfully.
In this workshop, you will:
– shed our workday bodies with streams of laughter, soft breaths, hoots and howls, groans and shrieks, and sultry yawns and soft sighs to gentle the autonomic nervous system
– connect breath and voice to a physically grounded, imaginatively connected body
– rediscover the joys of socially silenced sounds within the context of improvisations
– reimagine your voice both as a literal and metaphorical instrument of self-expression and empowerment
– integrate styles of vocal production employed in non-western cultures
– sing together in an atmosphere of curiosity and play
