Workshops explore the unity of voice and body as one whole. Participants will be encouraged to follow the creativity and range of motion in their individual voices and bodies. All will be guided through an intuitive approach to movement and singing, allowing the voice to travel and resonant through the body and the body to respond. Workshops will begin with a physical and vocal warm-up and venture into explorations in vocal expression while interacting with film, video, folk song traditions, and automatic writing. No experience necessary!
