The Place

VOICEMOTION
An opportunity to explore this unique and emotionally liberating approach to integrating voice and movement. The workshop will explore, through a combination of active observation and group/individual improvisational exercises, how you can access emotional qualities within yourself and ‘play’ with the vocal/physical patterns and rhythms they contain. Emotionally challenging but a chance to experience the power of your own and other people’s emotional voice-body in an exciting way, while developing the sense of presence, play and the ability to be expressively spontaneous.
