RECLAIMING VOICE:
Voice, Song and Embodied Expression
Monday 20 – Friday 24 July 2026
10:00 – 18:00 with two hours for one-to-one work at the end of each day
with Patrick Campbell & Rachel Karafistan
As part of ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL OF THEATRE – TEATR ÓSMEGO DNIA, Poznań
Join Patrick Campbell, co-author (with Margaret Pikes) of Owning Our Voices: Vocal Discovery in the Wolfsohn-Hart Tradition, and Rachel Karafistan, theatre-maker and passionate voice facilitator trained by Frankie Armstrong, for a dive into the expressive landscape of your voice.
Rooted in the Wolfsohn-Hart approach to extended voice and the philosophy and principles of the Natural Voice Network, this practical and experiential workshop explores the full spectrum of human sound, from pre-verbal sounding to song, through movement, breath, and embodied imagination.
We will work with the Vocal Sources, psychosomatic centres along the spine, awakening different vocal timbres and resonances through focused exploration. Participants will engage with creative vocal stimuli, designed to spark authentic vocal expression and free the natural voice.
You will:
- Reconnect breath, body, and voice in a grounded and playful way
- Move from pre-verbal sound into rich vocal textures, text, and song
- Develop confidence in your own vocality, its power, nuance, and emotional truth
- Discover where the rhythms of the body meet the rhythms of voice
- Explore collective sounding and the liberating possibilities of vocal improvisation
We are all born with open, expressive voices, but over time, life shapes, stifles, or scatters them. To reclaim the voice is to reclaim power. This workshop invites you to listen inwardly, act authentically, and uncover the sounds and songs that live inside you. This workshop is open to all levels of experience, though familiarity with theatre, dance, or singing will be helpful. Whether you’re a performer, artist, educator, or simply curious, come prepared to move, sound, and sing!
Includes FREE entrance to Patrick’s workshop demonstration THE AFFECTIVE DRAMATURGY OF THE VOICE on Sunday 19 July 2026 at 17:00
