Body Breath and Sound - The Dancing Voice, workshop with Peter Wilberforce, Poland June 2020

Five days of celebrating body and voice, dance and song, movement and sound.
28 June - 3 July 2020. Hobbit Mountain, Poland
For each and every of us, whether speaking or singing, our bodies are the source of our voices. Just think of our body as an instrument, how do we prepare it to sound clearly? What music will it play? How will this music move us? This workshop is an invitation to discover your free voice, released through movement. Using various movement and vocal practices - 5 Rhythms® dance, the Feldenkrais method and contact improvisation, and the Naked Voice and Roy Hart voice work - we will explore our relationship to our bodies, breath and voices to give movement and sound to our own individual music. We will rest in our bodies, feeling the soft, automatic movement of breath and matter. We will open to that which lives within us - sensations and qualities, rhythms and movement. Without forcing we will start to explore the gestures and the sounds that emerge. What dance will evolve? What song unfold? Each in-breath, each out-breath: the resonant body and the embodied voice, instrument and music. A body that sings and a voice that dances; rediscovering oneself in each moment of expression.
