  • Thursday, January 9, 5pm - 9pm



ABOUT THE "MOVEMENT MEETS VOICE" WORKSHOP

This workshop is designed for dancers and movers seeking to expand their vocal and acting skills, but is open to performers of all backgrounds. We’ll explore how to harness the body’s innate intelligence to enhance vocal expression, delving into the connection between movement and voice. Participants will learn techniques for developing dynamic characters by integrating physicality with vocal nuance, exploring how to bring text alive through embodied storytelling. Through interactive exercises and improvisation, you’ll gain tools for using movement as a foundation for voice work, unlocking new layers of emotional depth, presence, and power in performance.

Participants are required to bring:

  • A short (30-60 second) monologue or piece of text you’d like to work with. 
  • Paper and pen
