Workshops

Short Workshops. “Voice in movement integration”.
Research for movers, singers, vocal artist and therapists.

In the workshop, we open our body to his natural impulses and rhythms and to the natural musicality flow. Those will expressed through the riche vocal language of our inner self. We will make vocal-musicality portraits, using the vocal-dance as the way to draw inner images and somatic memories of our biography. We will expand our voice possibilities and, richness by research for the deep connections with the body. We will make little improvised solo compositions as well as duets, trios and group. We will use same ancient songs to deepen the understanding of resonances and body musicality knowledge.

By open the body to our organic musicality, we reach and explore deep layers of archaic personal and collective memories, organized in the body as form of language of vocal-movement and visual images.  Those will inspire and enrich the creative process.

The routes of the practice ‘Voice in Movement integration’ Method are deeply connected to Jerzy Grotowski and Mode Robaret work about the deepest layer of the mythic human soul  and Personal and collective  transformative Rituals.  It’s also resonate with somatic approach to body work such as Faldankraize method, Alexander technique, body-mind centering. The practice also embodied different Shamanic approach as well as meditative practice. All those layers and inspirations creates a Multidisciplinary and Multilayers path of practicing.

Journeys

“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore”

The time comes when inner journeys need to breathe a fresh air in new spaces, roaming the unknown. Discover new inner landscapes while wandering in outdoor landscapes.
Nourishing and inspiring with sounds, smells, colors. New cultures that echo in ourselves on forgotten strings. Creating new pulsation of life music.
