The workshop will focus on physical exercises to prepare the body for using the voice and seeking the dynamic sources of sounds as well as research into and development of the unique vocal potential of each participant. The link between the voice and movement will be emphasized.The work also involves attentive listening to one self and to others. This requires concentration and capacity to identify with other people's efforts. In this way we support each other's progress during both individual and group work. There is allocated individual time for each participant within the group.
Ulrik Barfod work is built around the respect for each person's expression. There is a clear focus on the already existing connection between voice and movement. His listening and observation of the participants, the relationship to time which each is confronted with and his soft determination is highly appreciated by the students. We all must find the sources of creativity within ourselves - not from others. Each person is unique and the deepest master of oneself. The work covers physical and vocal warm-up, improvisation classes but the spin of the work is the master class where the student works solo with Ulrik in the presence of the rest of the group. To create a respectful and safe atmosphere to work in which gives strength and trust in oneself. Concepts like good/bad, right/wrong, beautiful/ugly etc. gets turned around and looked upon and understood in a different way. The greatest appreciation of his work is his unconditional respect and belief in all people. Physical movements help liberate the voice by giving inspiration to move to somewhere, awakens the imagination and helps us to physically feel who we are and what we want to 'say' rather than to try and understand ourselves intellectually.
