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.

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 Pernell

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.

Daniela Garcia

Daniela Garcia

Actress, playwright and voice teacher

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 Goldsworthy

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.

Singing for me is the breathing in through my ears and my soul – and perform it into the breathing out through my voice.
Enrique Pardo

Enrique Pardo

Pantheatre
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 Knappe

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.

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 Barrenechea

Gabriela Barrenechea

Singer, 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 Magilton

Ian Magilton

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 Midderigh

The Roy Hart voice work is less about changing than about becoming, becoming closer to who we truly are.
Jesús Muñoz

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 Charepe

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.

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.

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 Crawford

„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 Stéphan

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 Wise

Actress, 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 Deschamps

Margaret Pikes

"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.

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.

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 Lowry

Voice performer, Actress, Voice Teacher, Vocal Coach

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 Guitton

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Ryan

Teacher and Actor

“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-Moore

Stephen Rivers-Moore

Musician, 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 Weins

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.

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 Höfinger

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.

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.

Singing 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.

Mechthild Hettich

Roy Hart Voice Teacher, Musician

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 Laforest

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
