About
The voice workshop aims at allowing space and time to get to know and open up one's own voice. Voice is an extraordinary instrument, inevitably embedded in the body. Exploring this unique instrument and what the body is capable of, how and what it feels and how it supports us when singing, we can get to know different expressions of our voices and the ways we sing. Working on texts, songs and improvisations individually or in a group, we learn how to be expressive in our everyday life as well as in our professional environment.
The voice workshop is intended to actors, dancers, and performers, experienced singers and hesitant beginners, and of course to everyone desiring to have a try at singing and improvising.
Wear something comfortable; bring warm, soft slippers and a bottle of water. No matter how well or loudly you sing, in the workshop you won’t be embarrassed
In the May-June cycle of the workshop, we will work more thoroughly on the interpretation of text and on specific songs, in the context of both folk and popular music. You’re welcome to suggest the songs you would want to work on individually, while the group songs will be provided by us.
