Workshop description:

This is a practice-based workshop. Guided by two highly experienced and supportive teachers, participants will explore and develop their awareness of the dynamic sources of voice in the body and the imagination.

The focus will be on individual voices, texts and songs, as well as group work, sounds, and songs. Awakening awareness of the body as a vital space allows us to build a deeper connection with the voice, so that it can become a medium of transmission, nourished and fed by true roots in the body.

Neil Paris has led workshops for many years with Margaret, and uses dance, theatre and yoga practices to explore imaginative approaches to making connections and pathways through the body to the voice. He combines playful exercises designed to free the body and stimulate the imagination with quiet, disciplined practices that connect us to our breath and our unique inner worlds.

In the mornings the focus will be on individual voices. In the afternoons we will work in groups on improvisations, texts and/or songs brought by each person.

This workshop is open to participants who are interested in the Wolfsohn/Hart approach to the development of the range of vocal expression, and who already have experience in vocal and/or body research and improvisation.

My work is rooted in the Wolfsohn-Hart approach to exploring the human voice. I aim to help my students to not only free their voices but also to feel emotionally and physically connected to their vocal range in a way that builds a sense of vocal empowerment. Each student can come to feel that their voice belongs to them and that they possess a repertoire of vocal possibilities to which they have conscious access and which corresponds to who they are. I offer individual voice lessons online and in Malérargues. More information about my experience, my way of working and reflections on this approach to voice work can be found in my book “Owning our Voices: Vocal Discovery in the Wolfsohn-Hart Tradition,” written with Dr Patrick Campbell. It was published by Routledge, in January 2021.

J’utilise la danse et les pratiques théâtrales pour explorer des approches imaginatives permettant d’établir des connexions et des chemins à travers le corps jusqu’à la voix. Je combine des exercices ludiques destinés à libérer le corps et à stimuler l’imagination avec des pratiques plus disciplinées qui nous relient à notre respiration et à nos mondes intérieurs uniques.

Mon objectif est d’aider les gens à acquérir une plus grande conscience et une plus grande confiance dans leur façon de bouger et de les aider à utiliser cela dans leurs explorations vocales.
