Directed by Margaret PIKES & Patrick CAMPBELL* (theatre-maker and researcher)

Margaret Pikes is a founder member of Roy Hart Theatre and co-author of the book « Owning our Voices : Vocal Discovery in the Wolfsohn-Hart Tradition » published in 2021 by Routledge.

Dr Patrick Campbell is a theatre-maker and researcher, currently a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Theatre and Performance at Manchester Metropolitan University (UK). He is the co-author with Margaret, of “Owning our Voices: Vocal Discovery in the Wolfsohn Hart Tradition”
As an actor, director and performer, he has been involved in Third Theatre practice for thirty years.

The course is practice-based. Guided by two highly experienced and supportive teachers, participants will explore and develop their awareness of the dynamic sources of voice in the body and the imagination. The focus will be on individual voices, texts and songs, as well as group work, sounds and songs. Awakening awareness of the body as a vital space allows us to build a deeper connection with the voice, so that it can become a medium of transmission, nourished and fed by true roots in the body.

In the mornings the focus will be on individual voices. In the afternoons we will work in groups on improvisations, texts, and/or songs brought by each person. This workshop is open to participants who are interested in the Wolfsohn/Hart approach to the development of the range of vocal expression and who already have experience in vocal and/or body research and improvisation.
