Objective: Increase our presence on stage and in life. Unfold our creativity with body and voice to move towards a personal and unique interpretation of a text or song.
Body awareness and vocal expression:
On the floor, we will focus our attention on the geography of our body, the presence of our breath and the perception of our fine musculature when using our voice. Moving will help us relate to space and others.
In small groups, we’ll explore all the colours of the speaking and singing voice. Through breath, the resonating spaces of the bones, movement, rhythm, and giving voice to our emotions, we will develop a vibrant, rooted voice.
Improvisation :
With creative joy and out of the present moment all we’d never thought of for our voice can emerge. We will play with archetypes, soundscapes, objects from nature, and anything other possible imaginative stimulus.
Sometimes participants will be invited to reinforce a personal impulse – e.g. through a vocal or verbal chorus – thus weaving a link between individual and collective work.
Singing together:
At the end of the day, the beauty of polyphonic singing will allow us to feel our own voices merging with those of the others, while remaining centred and confident in ourselves.
For inspiration and as a basis for the work, choose and learn a text (extract from a tale poem, article, etc....) of max. 3 minutes in length or a song that is close to your heart!
