The workshop is open to participants interested in the Wolfsohn-Hart approach to developing the range of vocal expression and who have already some experience of voice and body work. Students will be guided by two very experienced and supportive teachers, to explore their vocal potential and to feel emotionally and physically connected to their range in a way that builds a sense of vocal empowerment. Each student can come to feel that their voice belongs to them in a new way and that they possess a rich vocal repertoire to which they have conscious access.  Because vocal sound has its source in the body as well as in the world of our emotions, play and movement as well as more disciplined exercises, can often unexpectedly free up vocal possibilities that lie hidden and unexpressed.
In the mornings, classes will be focused on individual voices and movement. In the afternoons on group improvisation and the development of individual themes, including work on texts or singing songs.
NEIL PARIS (UK) is a director, performer and teacher. He toured internationally with Fabulous Beast Dance Theatre, where he met Margaret Pikes and led company classes and vocal development. He has taught throughout the UK and Europe and has been working with Margaret Pikes since 2005. In this work Neil uses dance, theatre and yoga practices to explore imaginative ways of making connections and pathways through the body to the voice. He combines playful exercises designed to free the body and spark the imagination with disciplined quiet practices that connect us with our breathing and our own unique interior worlds. You are invited to bring a song or a text that you would like to use as material for exploration, and which you should already have learned by heart.
