The voice, the muscle of the soul

Nawal, a professional singer and musician from the Comoros, offers us a workshop on freeing the voice, in connection with the body, the breath, the rhythm and the emotions.

She will guide us through an experience of letting go that aims to improve both vocal possibilities and psychic balance. We will learn to let the voice guide us, to follow it, and we will discover the pleasure of listening to ourselves and to others.

Content :

Body exercises, relaxation, massage, anchoring
Breathing exercises
The parameters of the voice (pitch, duration, intensity and timbre)
Vocal games (singing, shouting, whispering)
Listening to oneself and to others
Rhythm and the connexion with the body
Individual and group improvisations, guided by the imagination and our emotions
Writing one or more songs on the theme of Love.

No musical knowledge is required, except for singing in tune.
Please bring a confortable outfit for the bodywork. We will be barefoot.
