Please note all workshops outside of Malérargues are organized independently of the Centre Artistique International Roy Hart.
Focus:
A weekend workshop exploring movement, voice, language & song with Margaret Pikes & Kate Hilder.
Workshop Description:
This workshop is an opportunity to discover the dynamic connections between movement, imagination, vocal expression and singing.
Kate and Margaret will teach in tandem starting each day with a movement and vocal warm-up followed by solo, duet and small group improvisations. Margaret will lead sessions centring on vocal possibilities which arise from these explorations including short individual guidance. At other times we will start with vocal work and then experiment with movement and mood to fill out the different characters which emerge.
Exploring our voices can be a doorway to words and language. We will discover how connecting with the sources from which we produce our voices can generate narrative content.
Somatic movement explorations inspired by the Feldenkrais Method will support students in expanding their vocal and movement palette.
Teachers:
- Margaret Pikes: Margaret Pikes, Founder member of the Roy Hart Theatre. Margaret has been developing her approach to vocal exploration for 50 years based on her training with Roy Hart. Her book “Owning our Voices: Vocal Discovery in the Wolfsohn-Hart Tradition,” written with Dr Patrick Campbell, was published in 2021.
- Kate Hilder: Teacher and performer. Kate’s work draws from Action Theater™, Roy Hart Theatre voice work, Expressive Body, Focusing (Gendlin) practice, and the Feldenkrais Method.
