In this workshop I will present a voice training program and combine it with intense individual work for all participants. This training program will be of interest not only to beginners but also to advanced voice practitioners and voice teachers. For more information please contact: ed.dlefmmits@sretep-flar !

The singing voice and spoken voice are inseparable. We will explore how they are linked through work on the body, breath, and voice, and by exploring vocal range, all at the service of the vocal imagination of each participant. Bring a text and a song of your choice for creative and recreational laboratory work.

Saturday 9h-13h

We believe we are all amazing humans with unique possibilities that everyday life does not always ask for, or even permit us to express. Through the voice and body we can connect to those natural forces that can help us find a path to a richer life. To sing, to make a melody of your own, to interpret it with that which is close to you and which comes from deep within you, to blend your voice with other voices, and to come out enriched from the exchange, from the sharing.

Pascale is a singer, actress and voice teacher. Her life’s path changed completely on the day she met the Roy Hart Theatre in 1969. Fia is an actor, playwright, teacher and artistic director for ADAS Musikaliska Teater in Sweden. She met the Roy Hart voice work in 1984 while training in physical theatre. We will have the valuable help of musician Olivier Philippson on guitar and accordion.

The focus of the workshop is on listening and using one’s own vocal and physical potential to give voice to deep human experiences.

In this workshop we will focus on taking “music” back from the specialists of form and culture, trusting your intuitive understanding of music to make it your own and to find your own sense of music, beyond virtuosity and style. You will have the opportunity to explore what “music” means within your voice, and how to allow your own music to emerge.

The workshop will include deep physical and vocal preparation, individual lessons and group improvisation, where we will play with the connection between voice and body, and voice and perception. We will move into new territory beyond the areas that we use habitually, and enjoy the pleasure of singing together! This workshop is open to everyone.

In this workshop we aim to explore each individual’s creative space through voice and dance, following the thread of emotions and images and giving them expression. We will work in studios, with time for individual work, and also outside, taking inspiration from the countryside around us. How are voice and movement affected by nature and the elements – for example down by the river or by the light of the rising sun? And how can we best integrate these influences in our own creativity? When we work out of doors, we may have different working hours.

The themes covered by the human voice workshops (the connection between voice and body, development of your vocal potential, breathing, improvisation) will be explored and developed, and you will be encouraged to delve deeper into your creative abilities. Using a variety of means, like songs, melodies, rhythms, vocal qualities, movements, words, sentences... allow your inner potential to come forth and express itself. Come and create your own music, both to feel a greater closeness to yourself and to feed the collective creative process.

From body to breath, from breath to voice, from voice to singing - through space and silence, through imagination and emotion.

For you to find your body’s individual vital balance, we propose exercises derived from Eutony, a practice based on the observation and awareness of sensations. This will enable you to open up to the present moment, allowing your voice to follow its intuition and sense of playfulness.

Mornings: work on the basic elements of 'Human Voice' with a particular focus on the link between voice and movement. Individual lessons in small groups will alternate with collective sessions so you can discover the freedom, range and expressive potential of your singing voice.

Afternoon: exploration and improvisation based on vocal imagination and world songs (with one or more voices, proposed and taught by the teachers). Now you can play with sounds, words, songs, and let spontaneous songs emerge. Open to all, prior musical knowledge is not required.

This is a 'Human Voice' workshop in which each participant will receive one individual voice lesson during the week.

This workshop addresses people with an interest in massage and in exploring their voice. It will combine two different approaches allowing ourselves to access our inner being: Roy Hart Theatre work and Massage Sensitif. Initially, the free vocal expression in Roy Hart Theatre work and the free body language developed in Massage Sensitif will be addressed separately, but bridges will be gradually built in order to experiment during the week with a massage with voice accompaniment or with vocal production from the masseur and/or the person being massaged. The participants will mobilise their entire body and use their voice individually and collectively to explore various vocal registers and qualities. They will develop their body awareness, listening skills and breathing. They will learn the fundamentals of Massage Sensitif taking in turn the role of the masseur and the person receiving the massage (mainly on a table). The vocal work will seek to expand the register, to gain confidence and presence and develop listening and musicality. Participants should bring clothes for movement, and a towel and a sheet for the massages.

Open to all. An intensive experimental workshop: 36 hours in 6 days of group and individual work, with the emphasis on the relationship between the body, movement and voice. Exploring what moves us, our voices and our bodies. This workshop will include deep bodywork, improvisations, text and singing work.

A relaxed body is a marvelous instrument from which the voice can open up and flourish in all its richness, the creative force express itself without hindrance. Our vocal and creative impulses sometimes break up against obstacles - the breath does not flow, certain notes do not come out, throat, jaws do not open ... Something is missing.

Whatever the origin of these blockages, they manifest themselves in our body in the form of tensions. To undo them and recover a free (and happy!) voice and body, we will use Gerda Boyesen's biodynamic massages, based on Wilhelm Reich's work on the body armour. These massages act on various parts of the body that are important for our vocal work - diaphragm, back (secondary muscles of breathing), but also hands, feet, head, among others. Gentle yet powerful, they dissolve the tensions, release the blocked energy, and also free the breath, the voice, the imagination, our capacity of expression.

Mornings will be devoted to this physical preparation. In the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to explore your liberated voice individually and together.

Rowena Meenderman is Dutch. She trained at the Institute of Biodynamic Psychology in Amsterdam. She works as a massage therapist with adults, children and teenagers. She teaches massage as well as relaxation and trains nursery and primary school teachers who wish to introduce massage at school.

She is no stranger to vocal work and singing as she is also a jazz singer. She sang in a big band in Eindhoven for 4 years and in various combos in Holland and Belgium for many years.
