Workshop Description:
Professional training, financed by AFDAS under individual agreement (or other OPCO, depending on your situation).
More widely available by special arrangement, please contact us.

In our period of time, as in the Elizabethan period, the actor must be able to speak, sing and dance.
We propose a workshop in which body, voice and imagination are linked. They are woven together so that the voice can rest, rest, rest with care in all its colors, with panache or tenderness, calm as a river or lively as a waterfall, or deep as a mountain lake.
Yes, our voice can travel, a little like water or air, in volutes, in infinite curves, like marvelous clouds.

Six days of intense immersion in the landscape of your voice, with the aim of listening, listening until you hear.
Hearing to choose: which voice, which sound, which pitch, which timbre, which volume, which intensity, which sound quality, sometimes including sounds of strange beauty, but full of energy.

In a magnificent 19th-century chateau in Haute-Vienne, 17 km from Limoges, come and join a group deliberately limited to eleven trainees, with two teachers and a musician:
– Pascale Ben and Laurent Stéphan, Roy Hart Voice Centre teachers;
– Olivier Philippson, accordionist, guitarist, singer.

General information:
35 hours of teaching over six days.

Learning objectives:
Acquire greater comfort with your voice, know how to play it and project it effectively:
– by becoming aware of our habits and letting go of parasitic tensions
– by refining our perception of ourselves and of space
– by creating an energy conducive to the expression of different emotions
– discovering all the nuances of our voice
– making sounds resonate according to our own morphology

Eligible public:
Artists (actors, singers, dancers, circus performers, puppeteers, etc.) or anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of their voice, to strengthen the links that unite voice and body, to carry out research and exploration in the field of voice.

Prerequisites:
Professional artistic experience, even if not in the field of voice.
Admission based on C.V. and motivation letter.

Financing:
This course is offered in partnership with the Pivoine association, a QUALIOPI-accredited training organization.
