We begin with a physical and vocal warm up, then participants are invited to explore and develop:
– The dynamic sources of the voice in the body and in the imagination.
– Extending the range of the voice through this work.
– Full and free breathing.
– Guided and free group and individual improvisations.
– Using these discoveries with spoken text or singing.
– Active listening to others.
– We will also learn some simple polyphonic songs.
The workshop will be taught in English and French.

Margaret Pikes
Voice Teacher
Lives in Lasalle (France)
Worked with Roy Hart and was part of the Roy Hart Theatre (before 1991)
Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 1970
My work is rooted in the Wolfsohn-Hart approach to exploring the human voice. I aim to help my students to not only free their voices but also to feel emotionally and physically connected to their vocal range in a way that builds a sense of vocal empowerment. Each student can come to feel that their voice belongs to them and that they possess a repertoire of vocal possibilities to which they have conscious access and which corresponds to who they are. I offer individual voice lessons online and in Malérargues. More information about my experience, my way of working and reflections on this approach to voice work can be found in my book “Owning our Voices: Vocal Discovery in the Wolfsohn-Hart Tradition,” written with Dr Patrick Campbell. It was published by Routledge, in January 2021.
