Atelier Vocal
N E X T W O R K S H O P :
JUNE 1st
18.30-20.30
Lewisham Arthouse (nearest station New Cross)
The 1st of June workshop will thread the theme of early summer into its arc.
The aim of these workshops is to journey into an exploration of our individual voices, and to express both the individual and the collective through sound and song.
The workshops begin with breathing exercises. Breath is the bridge between the conscious and the unconscious: every moment of our lives we breathe, and when we align our awareness with our breathing we bring about subtle, profound shifts in energy flow, mental calmness and physical health. We sing with our whole bodies and our breath, and these mind/body connections are powerful and vital.
Through focus and control of the breath we approach the voice and the listening ear. We play games and do exercises to warm up and liberate the vocal cords, to attune our senses and reacquaint our voices with themselves.
Songs and improvisations are the next essential element of the session… The group are guided through songs, melodies and rhythms to produce collective sound, and through sound and awareness to create collective free improvisations.
We finish with a warming-down to contain and anchor the energy created, before we go off out into the world…
The workshops hold onto the idea of the power of the collective voice to carry and allow the individual voice, as well as vice versa. This is a really important element of the approach. Sound is undoubtedly a really powerful nurturer and healer and strengthener.
2h workshop: £10
Places are limited, booking is essential.
