The ongoing groups fall into two categories:
Wednesday Evenings
These
sessions are offered as a follow up to the Creative Voice weekend
workshops. The focus is on developing vocal flexibility, learning
more about improvisation, exploring vocal rhythms and working with the
connections between your body, your voice and your imagination.
Personal story may be used as a source of inspiration for
improvisation in these sessions.
Advanced Vocal Improvisation and Story Singing - Tuesday Evenings
These
sessions focus on vocal improvisation and the telling and singing of
personal stories. We use harmony, text, rhythm, ensemble and solo work
to create improvised songs. By emphasizing vocal qualities, the
use of metaphor and suitable musical structures, the songs come to
reflect a range of human experiences. You can expect to develop
your spontaneity, creativity and vocal flexibility.
Participants
must be able to hold and devise harmonies in the moment, have
experience in vocal improvisation and be willing to sing and experiment
with others.

The
focus of the sessions is worked out in collaboration with the
individual. A session could include a focus on self-expression, working
with the mind body voice connection, opening up the voice, singing for
pleasure, developing vocal flexibility and/or caring for the voice.
