Singing in Malérargues means expanding one’s sound body, freeing the inner being, taming the unknown. It is an encounter with oneself and an encounter with others. -

Anne-Sophie MassonAnne-Sophie MassonIntermittente du spectacle
Lives inLe Croisty - Bretagne - France
Singing is to recognise myself, to reveal and discover myself in the moment. Singing connects me with something bigger than myself, it makes my bones resonate and my breath awaken. Singing is to welcome the voices of the moment and to set off on a journey towards the unknown. -
Audrey PernellAudrey PernellSinger, Actress, Voice Teacher
Lives inSantiago de Chile, Chile
I follow my intuition in the moment, based on what I perceive to be the need of each student's unique voice. I guide people to connect with their creative impulses, accepting the sound “just as it is," and expressing what their voices have to say. -
Carol MendelsohnCarol MendelsohnVoice performer, Actress, Storyteller
Lives inMalérargues, Thoiras, France
"The voice is the muscle of the soul." Alfred Wolfsohn -
Christiane HommelsheimChristiane HommelsheimVoice Performer
Lives inBerlin, Germany
In Singing we appreciate ourselves, the world, nature and the people who are with us. Yehudi Menuhin -
Daniela GarciaDaniela GarciaActress, playwright and voice teacher
Lives inParis, France
The voice for me is a necessity deeper than speech and beyond song. It is a return to the raw material of the voice, a subterranean and atavistic space rarely touched on in art. -
David GoldsworthyDavid GoldsworthyVocal artist, voice teacher, choir leader
Lives inthe Village of Thoiras, France
Singing is not just a question of vocal technique. It is a dynamic artistic and human process, an opening to oneself and the world - an intensive work which involves effort, discipline, humility and the capacity to look and listen. -
Delphina FabbriniDelphina Fabbrinivoice teacher
Lives inFlorence, Italy -
Edda HeegEdda HeegSinger, Performance Artist, Voice Teacher, Musician
Lives inHanover, Germany
Singing for me is the breathing in through my ears and my soul – and perform it into the breathing out through my voice. -
Enrique PardoEnrique PardoPantheatre
Lives inParis and Malérargues, France
Singing, as defined by Alfred Wolfsohn and Roy Hart, is an extraordinary idealistic and demanding proposal – I am especially interested in its Talmudic backdrop. Protestant enthusiasm often takes over: its cult is also called singing. This, from a baroque, neopagan ‘goy’. -
Esther KnappeEsther KnappeSinger, Dancer, Voice Teacher
Lives inZürich, Switzerland
Malérargues is a magical place charged with invisible energy from all the years of voice work - the ground from which we can take off, grow and transform life into singing. -
Fia Adler SandbladFia Adler SandbladActress, Theater Director, Writer
Lives inGothenburg, Sweden
Malérargues is a safe place for letting the voice turn the soul inside out, touching secret memories hidden in the body and give them rhythm, music and meaning. -
Gabriela BarrenecheaGabriela BarrenecheaSinger, Composer and Practitioner of Eutonie
Lives inAngers, France
It is in singing that all my ‘selves’ meet together. When I sing I become a potter, architect, film maker, craft moulder and shaper. I enter into the material and little by little it takes form until it becomes unique, makes me unique. I am at the same both the material and the creator. -
Ian MagiltonIan MagiltonActor, Set and Light Designer, Theater Director
Lives inMalérargues, France
Our voices are very much bigger than we think, certainly bigger than we normally use, and that there is a profound connection between our voice and our self, which is in turn very much bigger than we realise or normally admit to. The voice is more than sounds produced by the larynx and resonated in the head; the expression, the beauty and the quality that makes us want to listen comes from the body, the heart, the stomach, the genitals, even the knees, and from the soul. -
Ivan MidderighIvan MidderighActor, Singer, Photographer, Leadership Communications Teacher and Coach
Lives inMalérargues, France
The Roy Hart voice work is less about changing than about becoming, becoming closer to who we truly are. -
Jesús MuñozJesús MuñozActor and director
Lives inValencia, Spain
The quality of listening I have found in Malérargues is the most sensitive I have ever experienced, without any kind of judgement or expectation. Malérargues is the place where you can accept your vulnerability and find the power of your voice. -
Joao CharepeJoao CharepeVocal health coach
Lives inLisbon, Portugal
Feeling our voice is something wonderful. It is to live and to revive, to create and recreate, to give and to receive of ourselves, of others and things. A fantastic new world that opens its discovery every day and every moment. -
Jonathan Hart MakwaiaJonathan Hart MakwaiaVocalist, Teacher, Composer and Actor
Lives inNew York City, USA -
Julien MartinJulien MartinSinger, singing teacher, writer
Lives inClermond-Ferrand, France
Singing is to try to sing what is beyond me, all the sounds of the voice and of the world, all of life - something infinitesimal, something huge, something beautiful, everything that gives joy and everything that hurts. -
Kaya M. AndersonKaya M. AndersonSinging, speaking and movement voice teacher, Actress and Performer
Lives inMalérargues, Thoiras, France
As one of the builders of Malérargues, for the past 41 years, for me, it is a place of many, many meetings with all the people who come here. Our inspiration for rebuilding Malérargues comes from our own singing and theatre and dance careers. -
Kevin CrawfordKevin CrawfordProgram Director (MFA in Physical Theatre)
Lives inCastiglion Fiorentino
„Singing“ is an inclusive term for me that covers any action that involves vocal expression. It is inclusive in the sense that it seeks to renegotiate our perceptions both of ourselves and others. Its primary aim is one of communcation on all levels. -
Laurent StéphanLaurent StéphanActor, Singer, Theatre and Voice Teacher
Lives inMalérargues, France
In the RHT approach, work happens at the nexus of body, voice, self-knowledge, theater and music. This exploration allows us to build bridges and increase unity within ourselves. -
Linda WiseLinda WiseActress, theatre director, singing/voice teacher
Lives inParis, France
Malérargues was built on a dream of a remarkable man, Roy Hart, and some exceptional people who worked with him. The capacity of a generation of actor/singers to say „yes“ and to hold to this undefined vision in the face of tragedy continues to challenge the historians and myth makers. -
Lucienne DeschampsLucienne DeschampsActress, singer, poet
Lives inParis mostly but also London and Kent
Singing rhymes with being, with connecting, channelling energy -
Lutz PickardtLutz PickardtTheatre director, teacher of physical theatre and drama
Lives inKassel, Germany
Whatever lives inside of us, we can give voice and expression to - our thoughts, ideas, dreams, emotions, worries or desires. It is an act of liberation that also helps us to discover, explore and integrate contradictory parts of ourselves. -
Margaret PikesMargaret PikesVoice Teacher
Lives inCologne, Germany and Montagnac, France
"Singing" for me, following the particular way Wolfsohn and Hart used that word, is a way of exploring and developing the depths of your own personal connection with your voice. -
Mariane SiemMariane SiemDramaturge, storyteller, speech therapist
Lives inAarhus, Denmark
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. -
Marianne Le TronMarianne Le TronArtist, actor-singer, guide/mentor for the sung and spoken voice.
Lives inThoiras, France
Voice has become my life-companion, the measure of both my personal and artistic work, and my inspiration. And these I love to share. -
Marya LowryMarya LowryVoice performer, Actress, Voice Teacher, Vocal Coach
Lives inBoston, MA USA
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. -
Maryline GuittonMaryline GuittonPerformer, Singer, Author-composer
Lives inParis, France
At the Roy Hart Centre, we learn from workshops, from passionate discussions over meals with fellow students, from conversing with nature, and the place itself, which has a soul of its own. At Malérargues, the apprenticeship is constant. -
Núria IngladaNúria IngladaActress, Theater Director
Lives inAt the moment nomad
A smiling field full of contradictions, fear and love, sadness and happiness, emptiness and fullness… resistance, freedom, letting go, releasing. Always a challenge, always good. Finding the pleasure. Finding myself, myself in the others. Unity. -
Orly AsodyOrly AsodyMusic teacher in a High School Music Department, Roy Hart Voice Teacher
Lives inTel Aviv, Israel
When I truly sound, my real whole-range voice, ‘I’ cease to exist: all the voices of judgement, classification, evaluation… disappear and I’m truly one with the world. -
Pascale BenPascale BenSinger, Actress, Voice Teacher
Lives inFrance
Singing for me means to live more fully. It also means using my energy and my thoughts to be able to grow, besides singing songs which can enrich my life, and even inventing new songs as I am now. -
Paula MolinariPaula MolinariVoice Teacher
Lives inTeresina/Piauí/Brazil
In my point of view/perception singing is: connection, self-knowledge, accuracy, expression, wisdom. -
Rosemary QuinnRosemary QuinnActress, Director, Teacher, Arts administrator and Producer
Lives inNew York City, USA -
Sašo VollmaierSašo VollmaierPianist, composer, performer, teacher
Lives inParis and Malérargues, France
I understand singing as melodic speaking with rhythmical particularities of different cultures. It pleases me the most when I hear a foreign language, I can relax my ears and listen to the meaning from another perception -
Saule RyanSaule RyanTeacher and Actor
Lives inMalérargues, France
“Singing“ allows me to dynamically explore many different qualities of sound, some of them quite extreme, 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. -
Stephen Rivers-MooreStephen Rivers-MooreMusician, Choral Director
Lives inLe Vigan, France
Why do we sing ? Why do we make music ? I am drawn in particular to vocal expression through melody and harmony, and to instrumental expression where the instrument sings its instrumental line. I believe that music can touch the human soul, and that making music can nourish our soul and help us to discover ourselves and who we are. What more do you want ? -
Susanne WeinsSusanne WeinsPerformance artist, Alexander Technique teacher
Lives inDüsseldorf, Germany
Malérargues is my second home. When I think of it, I remember sharing deep times with my dear friends Robert, Marita, Jonathan. It is the navel of the world, the mother-house of this really unique and beautiful exploration of the voice and being. -
Ulrik BarfodUlrik BarfodVoice teacher, Experimental voice performer

Singing is a personal sound form, just like your physical body. -
Véronique ThomasVéronique ThomasRoy Hart voice teacher, singer, music teacher

Malérargues est un lieu de transformation et de retrouvaille avec son soi profond. Une manière d’être au monde, de se relier les uns aux autres par la vibration d’âme à âme. -
Walli HöfingerWalli HöfingerPerformer, Performance Artist
Lives inBerlin, Germany
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. -
Zwaantje de VriesZwaantje de VriesPerformer, Dansexpressie teacher
Lives inNijmegen, Netherlands
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.
OTHER ROY HART CENTRE TEACHERS
-
Akhmatova SamuelsAkhmatova SamuelsSinging Teacher
Lives inLyon, France
My voice-body work is practical, the fruit of my experience as a singer, actress, and teacher, applying what I learnt from Roy and Dorothy and with fellow-pupils and teachers since 1964. My voice comes from my whole body: this means I move « every joints » while inviting voice to come in on the out-breath, as it wants. This is my warm-up and pre- rehearsal. -
Anne HeegAnne HeegSinger, Actress, Singing Teacher, Architect
Lives inHamburg, Germany
The opening and liberation of the individual’s potential through singing, in connecting with the conscious awareness of the moment in the Here and Now. “Concentration, intensity, expression": Alfred Wolfsohn -

Clara Silber-HarrisClara Silber-HarrisActress, Theater Director, Voice Teacher
Lives inPort-Vendres, France

Mechthild HettichMechthild HettichRoy Hart Voice Teacher, Musician
Lives inBremen & Stuttgart, Germany
Voice and mood are closely linked. A fearful voice sounds different from an excited, young, old, in love or angry voice. However, all have their place and the division into "beautiful" and "ugly" loses its importance. -
Michèle LaforestMichèle LaforestFrench teacher, actress, voice teacher
Lives inParis (France) et près de Foix (France)
To discover our different voices is to discover the way of life! Body and voice together help discover the real verticality of the human: going beyond the limits allows the richness of inner musicality to express oneself with authenticity. -

Nadine GeorgeNadine GeorgeInternational voice teacher working in many European Countries
Lives inGrantham Lincolnshire, England
The voice work of Alfred Wolfsohn and Roy Hart and my development of their work is to do with the development of the individual. To be able to discover who you are through the voice and to stand in yourself with your own unique voice. Then to work with this on a high human and artistic level. -

Noah PikesNoah PikesWhole Voice teacher, trainer and coach, Voice coach for Interpreters, Writer and speaker on Roy Hart Theatre voice work and history
Lives inZürich, Switzerland
Singing happens when a person’s whole body, senses and imagination are totally engaged in creating vocal sound, whilst focusing on a given note, image or word. This requires many hours of dedicated work with a teacher who is able to sing. -

Renata RoagnaRenata RoagnaActress, Singer, Voice teacher
Lives inMontpellier, France
In order to soar up into the sky we need a strong grip on the ground, good energy, a lot of confidence, relaxation and vigour, full openess and imagination. ... to go further into space and at the same time closer to oneself so that the whole human being finds freedom and joy in an authentic, artistic vocal act. -
Richard ArmstrongRichard ArmstrongTeacher, Director, Performer

Suzanne LafontaineSuzanne LafontaineVoice teacher, singer, performer
Lives inSherbrooke, Quebec, Canada
To sing, it’s to dare to be yourself, to let your own music sing. Offer without losing yourself. An act of freedom, truly human, that changes you. A beautiful risk, to be fully alive.
