“The perception is the dance.”

Inspired by this famous quote by dancer/choreographer Deborah Hay. we will explore the question: What if the perception is the music? What if the body sings and the voice moves? Seemingly paradoxical tasks will stimulate and open up hidden pathways for the voice between mind and body.

“We seek insight through the body’ s visceral capacities to perceive and to transform experience into material realities, which then become the substance of art“ – Margaret Cameron

Learning to perceive multiple perspectives in space, we will vocally explore different modes of knowing, such as thinking, sensing, intuition, memory, and feeling. This fluid dialogue between body, mind, and the world around us has the potential to enlarge our perspective on Voice and Vocal performance. The workshop will include individual and group body and voice-work.

The human voice in all its colors and expressive possibilities, independently of aesthetic norms and conventions, is the center of attention in my work. If we listen closely to our voices we listen closely to ourselves. The voice as a bridge between our rich inner world and the world around us fascinates me in art and life.

I facilitate learning environments where participants can explore notions of comfort and comfortability as a starting point and find ways to investigate how breath becomes an ally in the practice of developing awareness through movement. Notions of finding and using one’s voice through acts of remembrance and imagination becomes central to the work as both a literal and philosophical practice. Using task, play and score-based activities and strategies for engaging creatively with the whole self, we uncover new possibilities for extending habitual approaches to our voice and body. Personal and collective creation and reflection enables the group to extend and balance stability with flexibility.
