I'll be sharing my practice around voice and movement. Using my voice in different ways - singing or just making sounds - has become more and more important to me. I’m interested in voice as a continuation of movements already happening inside of the body - when we breathe or talk. We will go through exercises that focus more on the technical aspects, and warming up the sounding body, as well as creative exercises that go into improvisation, and singing & dancing together. I am interested in researching how the use of our voices can affect and support our own movement research. No previous experience in singing is needed. I use the term “singing” very loosely - it is not connected to a specific style or aesthetic for me. We will go slow in finding the voice, and feeling comfortable with it in the space!
