The Body-Voice Connection

We start life out with the ability to scream the roof off with no apology. As we grow up and find more articulate ways of communicating our ideas and needs, we also start closing off the connection between our voice and our body. We worry about what we sound like and what we're saying, and the censoring gets stored in the body.

In this workshop we'll look at a voice rebuild from the ground up, to find a power, expressivity and clarity in our speaking, singing or acting voices, connected to a strong, expressive body.

What to bring
Non-constricting clothing, water bottle, a 15 second piece of memorised text (speech, song, poem, nursery rhyme).
