4 Week Intensive Workshop
In this 4-week workshop, we will focus on the study of voice, mind and body in the context of an ongoing creative process. This course is for you if you want to dive deeply into the experience of your own voice and integrate this experience into your artistic practice!
The days will begin with physical preparation and individual singing lessons in small groups which rotate weekly to allow intensive work with all 4 teachers. In the afternoon, the focus will be on group work to fine-tune and inspire our listening and vocal interaction in ways that are only possible in a group setting. This 4 week program is an invitation to refresh your own artistic practice through the voice.
It will include bodywork, meditation, group and individual voice work, creative writing, text work, polyphonic Georgian singing, and time for creative projects or performance practices. We will work from Monday to Friday, with Friday afternoons dedicated to sharing presentations of individual or collective presentations of artistic works in progress. We are hoping to facilitate 4 weeks of immersion in a connected vocal and creative process. If you would like to apply, please send a letter of motivation to contact@centreroyhart.orgPriority will be given to people who have already worked with Roy Hart Center teachers, but even if you haven’t, please feel free to apply and include some information about your particular journey with your voice in your letter of motivation. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have about the workshop.

Moving Voices: From Emotions to Music and Performance28-10-23/05-11-23Open to allMoving Voices: From Emotions to Music and PerformanceDirected by Maryline GUITTON, Audrey PERNELL & Andrés ZARA*Price810 €Participants:12Level:Open to all

Workshop Code:

What moves you? What moves you to voice? To sing? To create? And what holds you back?
As performers, we sometimes find ourselves singing in fear of our emotions. We're fearful of being overwhelmed by our emotions and of losing control of our voices, viewing emotion as a hindrace to artistic expression. When we sing a song or improvise, our expectations of ourselves are enormous and we focus more on what we want to achieve rather than on what we might discover.Have you ever wondered what music might be hiding within your voice? What voices and emotions might be revealed by venturing into new musical landscapes? How to manage emotions in the process? In this workshop, we will focus on the relationship between emotion and musicality in vocal improvisation. We will explore specific emotions and their energetic sounding qualities and the fire and water they carry. We will also learn to experience emotions that are simply there in the present, and how tuning into our moment-to-moment emotional life can actually move us toward exciting vocal discoveries. Our emotions can help us release physical tension and open up hidden potential in the voice. They can become our guides, leading us to what we have to say on a deeper level, beyond what we think we want. When we allow our emotions to move through our voices, we find a wealth of creativity to inspire original melodies and poetry, or bring fresh authenticity to our interpretation of a song.
Through musical accompaniment - piano, percussion, and/or voice - Maryline, Audrey, and Andrès will support and guide each student’s personal vocal journey through emotions, beyond any aesthetic expectations or traditions. We invite you to see what happens when you let yourself be taught by the music itself.
Through collective and individual guided improvisation we will explore new ways of relating to music and discover how musicality appears in the emotions that surface. Rather than feeling stuck in our emotions, we will develop imaginative and technical skills that allow the performer to find ways for free vocal and musical expression.
Along the way you will be guided towards a final performance where students and teachers will give a public presentation featuring improvisation. Please prepare a song that moves you: something meaningful to you that you are also willing to explore playfully with others. We may use the songs in the performance, or they may serve as inspiration for original work.

For administrative and accounting purposes, please include this workshop code and the name of the student when making payments and in all other correspondence.
We will end 2023 and begin 2024 with voice, movement, and celebration of your hopes and wishes for the New Year. Beginning in the morning with movement, breathing, and singing, we will move through the day with improvisation and vocal exploration around the themes for the New Year. How would I like to cross the threshold between the years, to wrap up the old year and the past, and launch the New Year with new energy and new ideas? The workshop will include singing lessons in 2 groups. We will close each day with traditional polyphonic Georgian singing that we’ll perform together on the final evening.
Laurent Stéphan has spent many years exploring the traditions of Georgia especially 3-part harmony singing, and the traditional ritual of the ‘Supra’ where those sharing a meal are invited to sing and speak from their hearts, and to listen deeply to one another. Laurent will direct the New Year's banquet inspired by these Georgian traditions. We will prepare the meal together and invite the other residents of Malérargues to celebrate the passage of the year with us. For further information please email: laurent_stephan@yahoo.fr

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
AN INTENSIVE SEMINAR OF TRAINING, RESEARCH AND CREATION

A partnership between the Compagnie imagi_nation, the association and training organisation Pivoine, and La Régie de coordination de Lasalle, with the support of the Roy Hart Theatre/CAIRH. This is an experimental project on Handel’s English baroque opera “Acis and Galatea”, which we hope will eventually lead to a production in the spirit of the Roy Hart Theatre.

“OWNING OUR VOICES”“OWNING OUR VOICES” (Books)
- Malérargues is for me the beautiful and important heart of the Roy Hart community. It is the meeting place for people who have experienced a Roy Hart moment that made such an impact on them that it created a longing for more.Mariane Siem
- For me, the philosophy of the Roy Hart work begins with Alfred Wolfsohn. His lifework inspired us to find a new world. The soul of singing, the music in each one of us, needs careful listening, observation and empathy: these are my hard worked-for aims.Kaya M. Anderson
- The heart, soul, and body hunger for deep expressions – of joy, yearning, grief, ecstasy, pain, uncertainty, purpose. This vocal journey thrives on listening, searching, play, risk and ultimately, the discovery of form and ease.Marya Lowry
- Malérargues was built on a dream of a remarkable man, Roy Hart, and some exceptional people who worked with him.Linda Wise
- “ Singing“ allows me to dynamically explore many different qualities of sound, so that with time my capacity to express myself both as a singer and as a human being is enhanced. More in touch with myself and my voice I can be more in touch with others.Saule Ryan
- Singing is a way to connect through the voice. Listen with the soul into the body – or with the body into the soul. The voice makes it all audible.Walli Höfinger
- There is nothing that gets you closer to your-self than your voice, there is nothing that gets you closer to the Other, then The voice.Zwaantje de Vries
