    For administrative and accounting purposes, please include this workshop code and the name of the student when making payments and in all other correspondence.

In this workshop we will explore the many facets of passion. How can we invite energy, emotion and intensity into our bodies and voices? What does Duende mean in Flamenco, having  Angel in Latin American singing, and how can we use the same intensity in a soft song? To be full, in the softness, the extremes, the joy, the tension, the sadness, to be in the paradoxes…

We begin each day with body and voice warm-ups of body and voice, with physical and vocal relaxation work and breathing exercises. In group classes we will explore passion through improvisation and work on polyphonic songs from different traditions, such as Pablo Neruda and Mikis Theodorakis’ Canto General. The workshop also includes work in small groups, with a greater emphasis on individual lessons. For this individual work bring a song, a chant, or a text that touches you, that transports you.

I weave my personal story into a song, through my body, my sensations, scars, wounds, my imagination, and my instinct. I allow myself to be touched by the vital moment.

(Tuesday to Saturday 10h-13h et 15h-18h & Sunday 10h-13h et 14h30-16h)

Edda Heeg

Singer, Performance Artist, Voice Teacher, Musician
Lives in Hanover, Germany
Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 2001

My very first experience of the Roy Hart voice work was in 1988 when I had my first individual lesson with Marita Günther. The joy of life and love entered into my voice. Now it has become my life and my passion to accompany people into the singing process. Singing means much more to me than the actual producing of a sound. It is a deep process of self-reflection, self-confidence and self-knowledge. For me my work is energetic work on all levels, combined with deep and passionate emotions to reveal the inner flow of life and love.

Gabriela Barrenechea

Singer, Composer and Practitioner of Eutonie
Living in Angers, France
Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 2016

Today, in this time of teaching in Angers, my main tendency is to nourish the voice through the body, feed what is between, feed all the rich variety and nuances in the intermediary ranges. There are many ways to propose an exploration. Nothing is fixed. The vocal process appeals to me more than the vocal result.
