Welcome to the Centre Artistique International ROY HART
Since 1974 the Château de Malérargues, founded by the Roy Hart Theatre, has been a unique venue for exchange, teaching, training and creation. Established since 1991 as the Centre Artistique International Roy Hart (Roy Hart International Art Centre), it welcomes artists, students, educators, and curious souls from all over the world, who come to find unique approaches to voice, body, movement, and psychology, applicable not only in the performing arts but also in everyday life. The work at the Centre is based on a history of almost 100 years of research, study and practice of the human voice without boundaries.

Back to Workshops Overview
Let's bring 2024 to a close and usher in 2025 with our bodies and our voices. Let's celebrate your New Year's wishes with words and music!
We'll start our mornings with movement, breathing and singing classes, followed by learning and performing traditional and sacred Georgian polyphonic songs. These same songs will be at the heart of our New Year's Eve celebrations, when we invite you to enjoy the unforgettable experience of a Georgian Supra. A Supra is a ceremonial banquet where each guest is invited to express and sing their innermost being, and to listen to others as they have never done before.
Our Supra meal will be specially prepared by a Georgian chef.
Laurent and Zoé will be your guides for this five-day immersion in the traditions of the Caucasus. Laurent has travelled twelve times to the region to study the music, and as a passionate devotee of this repertoire has been performing it in France with various ensembles for the past 28 years. Zoé Perret lived in Georgia for 16 years, learning its complex language and the subtleties of regional vocal styles. She founded and directed the Tbilisi-based Ensemble Kimilia. As such, she is one of the foremost transmitters of this tradition in France.
If you join us for this workshop, be ready to sing in three voices and to feast your ears and your heart!
Our workshop will include singing lessons in two groups.
