Véronique and Maryline invite you to take a step on the path of vocal improvisation – a path of self-knowledge, leading to a deeper, more authentic relationship with yourself, with others, with the world. Both are singers and improvisers and they will accompany you as you allow your inner music to be expressed through improvised singing. They will give you tools to help with instantaneous composition – be it physical, vocal, or musical – through intuitive listening, use of rhythm, intention, characters, relation to silence, contrasts, etc.
Notions like melody, unisson, counterpoint or ‘gibberish’ will be addressed. Musical inspiration will reveal itself as you open up to your breathing, to your emotions and sensory perceptions, and to the images and stories of your imagination. Times of in-depth research will alternate with playful games, leading you to explore the extended registers, resonance-spaces and various textures of your voice, to nurture your imagination.
In this space of artistic freedom, as we develop our listening, deepen our presence and savour the pleasure of sounds, mindful in the moment of what wants or needs to be said or sung, we will share our “aliveness” in the present moment and give expression to our limitless vocal potential. The workshop will include physical and vocal warm-ups, individual and group lessons, vocal exploration, meditations, improvisations. Musical instruments are welcome !
