The voice is our most intimate instrument and a vehicle for opening up to our inner landscape and imagination. This workshop explores the concepts of the embodiment of the voice utilizing conscious breath, movement, relaxation, toning, singing, and action in motion. This is a unique opportunity for vocal play and discovery and to expand your confidence on stage and screen. We will work with movement and vocalizing individually and as a group. Come join us and allow yourself to investigate the potential of your voice and to play.
