The voice is an extension of our body, a bridge between the internal and external world. Through it, we express emotions, desires, and our identity. In Biodanza, the voice is worked from an integrative perspective, seeking not only the correct sound emission but also a connection with emotion and authenticity.
Rolando Toro Araneda, creator of Biodanza, emphasized the importance of the voice as an expression of the soul and a reflection of human vitality. According to him, the voice, when freed from tension and blockages, becomes a powerful tool for emotional communication and connection with others. In his view, the voice in Biodanza is not only a means of verbal expression but also a manifestation of the profound self that strengthens identity and helps with our emotional integration.
Wilhelm Reich contributed with the concept of body armour, which is tension accumulated in the body due to emotional blockages. These armours also affect the voice, limiting its free and authentic expression. In Biodanza, the goal is to release these tensions through movement, sound, and breathing, allowing the voice to flow more naturally and powerfully.
The use of the voice in Biodanza facilitates genuine expression, releasing emotional blocks and allowing for more authentic communication. The voice also reflects our emotional state: a tense or broken voice can reveal anxiety or fear, while a fluid and resonant voice indicates confidence and openness.
