EMBODIED VOICE FLOW is a vocal-physical process which invites you to re-discover an intimate and empowered relationship with the primal voice and its profound sensitivity, through a series of somatic investigations on deep listening, embodied vocality, musical instinct. Each session opens a space to connect with the pleasure of creating music with our breath, voice, mouth, body, and with our innate instinct for expression and connection through sound. We combine these practices to create different forms of vocal improvisation whilst grounding within presence and awareness, expressing our vital creativity through sound and movement, and listening with the whole body at the same time we start to cultivate the art of living in the present moment. The overall trajectory of each session follows a designed progression from the functional aspects of voice and body (breath anatomy, elements of acoustics and phonetics) to the realm of improvised musical flow - the ‘music of the now’.
The core practices of the Embodied Voice Flow are:
> Deep listening: the meditative practice of receiving sound in its depths through the body, unconditional hearing as a gateway to our consciousness.
> Somatic experience: experiencing one’s voice and body as an integrated whole, dialoguing with the vibrational nature of your voice.
> Pulsing/tuning: working with spontaneous pulsations and melodies as a way to experiencing music in a playful, intimate, naked sense; connecting with your creative source by surrendering into the music of the moment.
> Collaborative Vocal Improvisation: organising emerging percussive-melodic patterns in a collective musical flow within improvised sound journeys.
> Songs as Teachers: in the last part of the session we open songs from different traditions and dive together in their melody, rhythm, circularity, surrendering to each song as a gateway to our consciousness and the full expansion of our voice being.
During the program you are invited to play and experiment with different techniques and approaches:
- somatic approaches to perception, movement and relationship (anatomical study of breath and voice / somatic explorations with guided imagery / Deep Listening meditations / hands-on work in partners)
- principles of Collaborative Vocal Improvisation and Circlesinging
- development of personal and group research (through exercises of self-reflection and group feedback)
