Embodying Your Voice - Practice Group
After taking some time to focus on myself, research, and primarily teaching 1 to 1 lessons, I would like to offer group classes once again! :)
The Experience:
This is a weekly (90min) practice group for those interested in fostering a stronger relationship with their voice. All experience levels and singers/speakers are welcome!
A focus will be on finding ease in the body, and strengthening ones connection to the internal sensations and experiences when singing.
Our space is highly experiential and interactive. The purpose of this space is to play, explore new sensations, new sounds, and discover the many ways the body can self-organise.
Here we can challenge and/or even let go of old patterns that may no longer serve us.
Important: this is not a prescriptive “technique” class. My aim is to offer you tools in order to foster self-efficacy, co-creating an experience that recognises the “body knowledge” that you possess.
In offering these practices to my students in the past, I’ve seen participants release chronic tension, emotional blocks, gained more presence, and found more ease in voice production. *This is not necessarily the goal of the practice, but it’s a great side-effect.*
Each session will begin with a somatic “warm-up” (breath-work and movement) that will lead into our experiments.
Topics include:
creating a safe space for your somatic voice practice
tuning into sensations in your body and facilitating a “somatic-dialogue” with yourself
reframing voice/performance challenges and returning to playfulness
explore more spontaneity in your breath and emotional intentions
build confidence in troubleshooting voice and performance challenges for yourself
“get out of your head” and into your body
Participants will need some space for movement (don’t worry — this is not a dance class), and clothing that does not restrict movement. Have a song or text you are comfortable to use as material for the class (no performing required).
Who?
Respect for one another and safety are absolutely vital. This is a space for everyone wanting to connect more fully with themselves and their voice.
When?
Limit 12 people/class to make sure participants receive individual attention
