YOUR OWN VOICE ON THE THRESHOLD TO MUSIC
A Voice Workshop with Walli HÖFINGER & Christiane HOMMELSHEIM
In this workshop we will focus on recapturing “music”, out of the hands of the specialists of form and culture, trusting your intuitive competence in music, making it your own, finding your own sense of music, beyond virtuosity and style.
You will have the opportunity to explore what “music” means within your voice, and how to allow your own music to emerge. The workshop will include deep physical and vocal preparation, individual lessons and group improvisation, where we will play with the connection of voice and body and voice and perception. We will move into new territory of our voices beyond the areas that we are habitually using. This workshop is open to all.
