- Somatic Voice - Methods intensive

Optional module with Walli Höfinger

Possibilities of expression & tones of voice - related to Roy Hart

With Walli Höfinger, the exploration of our voice in all its expressive possibilities and timbres can be continued within the framework of Somatic Voice with the voice work according to Roy Hart. We dedicate ourselves to this expressive method, which is native to the South of France, for 5 intensive days.

Independent of common aesthetic norms, we will explore the connection between voice and body as well as voice and consciousness. We leave the well-trodden paths as we know and are used to use our voice.

In this workshop we explore what we perceive as music in our voice. By discovering our own competence, perception and willingness to experiment, we gradually recapture music from the hands of specialists and professionals. Playful exercises in the group, partner and individual work open a wide field to experience our own voice.

We recommend to take this intensive method workshop together with the advanced training Somatic Voice.
