Embodied Voice Flow from voice somatics to singing improvisation
workshop with Alessio Castellacci.
Embodied Voice Flow is a vocal journey that invites you to rediscover an intimate, empowered relationship with your voice — as vibration, movement, presence, and musicality.
PART 1 (10:00-12:00)
This first part begins with gentle bodywork and deep listening practices to awaken perception and connect with the primal voice. Through touch, breath, and awareness, we explore how sound moves through the body and how the voice can become a tactile, sensory experience.
Once we connect with the vibrational essence of the voice, we begin to explore different types of impulses, playing intuitively with rhythm, articulation, and resonance. Participants are guided to create spontaneous melodies and percussive patterns emerging from these subtle inner rhythms.

PART 2 (12:30-14:30)
In the second part we gradually move toward spontaneous singing, bridging somatic work with vocal music.
We explore different ways of organizing these impulses into simple melodic forms and rhythms, allowing the voice to shape itself in relation to others.
From here we enter the basics of Collaborative Vocal Improvisation: looping, layering, supporting, variating.
Attention shifts between inner sensation and collective sound. You learn how to remain within your own experience while participating in a shared musical field, with a focus on deep listening and clarity of communication.
Out of this, collective sound journeys emerge. These shared compositions become a space of connection, story, and communal presence — music arising in the moment.
The workshop is open to all levels. No previous vocal or musical experience is required — only curiosity, presence, and the pleasure of exploring sound together.
—-------
Alessio Castellacci is an Italian voice artist and facilitator based between Berlin, Prague and Italy.
His methodology, Embodied Voice Flow, evolves at the intersection of somatic movement practices, vocal improvisation, ecological and psychotherapeutic approaches. Through this work, he explores how voice can become a bridge between body, awareness, and environment — a practice of listening, expression, connection, and community building.
Since 2005 Alessio has been teaching, composing music and performing internationally, creating with Irena Z. Tomazin the World is Sound, a Berlin-based platform that offers workshops, retreats, and individual mentoring in embodied voice work and singing practices.

Due to the extended format of this workshop - with a higher number of teaching hours spread over two days - it is due to funding reasons unfortunately not possible to offer the full program free of charge this time. However, the first session will remain open and free, while the second, more in-depth part will cost 550 DKK for both days. Participation in the workshop requires attendance on both days, as the process builds continuously.
To ensure a focused and comfortable working environment, the workshop is limited to 15 participants.

This workshop is part of a series of six practice-sharing events taking place throughout 2026, organised by connective matter works / Antoinette Helbing. connective matter works operates across stage, installation, site-specific formats, and film, combining somatic practices with expressive performance. The work explores the continuous exchange between body and voice - how the body becomes voice, and how voice reshapes the body. Starting from basic human expressions such as laughter and crying, the artistic practice investigates emotional states as shared, embodied phenomena, activating empathy, resonance, and connection between performers and audiences.
This event is made possible with the support of @statenskunstfond.
