Workshop description:

This is an invitation to embark on a vocal and physical journey exploring our connection to the Earth, the ground, our points of contact, and the support that helps the voice find its security. This confidence and this sense of being held will help us find ease, freedom, momentum, and the drive to move forward, to offer our voice, and to share it.

Surrendering to the Earth’s embrace, releasing our physical tensions so they dissolve into the ground, and awakening this new, confident energy so it can flow freely once more. Then, like lava from a volcano, allow our voice to rise from the ground, to gush forth like hot water from a geyser emerging from the Earth, to express itself, to speak, to reveal itself without restraints, without judgment, without limitations. The goal here is to encounter one’s voice with complete authenticity to nourish one’s identity. The moment of embodied song will then be able to sing you fully.

On the agenda: physical openness and availability, vocal exercises, group explorations of voice and body, individualized time, songs to share, sharing experiences and feelings…

Accommodations are available in an on-site cottage with a communal kitchen.

Today, in this time of teaching in Angers, my main tendency is to nourish the voice through the body, feed what is between, feed all the rich variety and nuances in the intermediary ranges. There are many ways to propose an exploration. Nothing is fixed. The vocal process appeals to me more than the vocal result.

I help create the conditions which allow students’ vocal potential to emerge, while starting from who they really are. I rely on those paramount human qualities, which are for me listening, respect, kindness and empathy. I encourage students to go further, to explore releasing their fears and resistance, to venture into unknown territories. I help them to release their voice, so that it resonates throughout their entire body.
