The workshop is designed 1)for the participant to identify specific areas of physical tension that block vocal expression 2) for the speaker to explore sound through physical and vocal play 3) for the player to experience greater ease, energy and clarity in performance

What we will do. 1)body alignment exercises will be practiced in order to encourage flexibility and provide increased space for breath. These therapeutic practices address the whole body, but more focus is given to the sacrum, lower back, hips, diaphragm, rib cage, belly, lungs, and neck/shoulders.

Elements of Kristin Linklater's voice work will be introduced and blended with the physical movements to help the student deepen their breath and resonance, expand vocal range, and free emotional expression and articulation. Participants will experiment with a text of their own choosing throughout the session receive coaching, and the workshop will culminate in each person's rendition of their text for the group.
