Karaoke to Catharsis

Karaoke to Catharsis

Join us for a night of singing and healing at My Room- A Place For Healing, Art, and The Healing Arts. Let your emotions out through the power of music as you sing your favorite tune in a supportive and creative environment. Whether you're comfortable singing in front of others or a first-timer, this event is all about diving deep into the emotional life of your song and finding catharsis through the mind body connection to the voice. Come as you are and leave feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. Let's sing our hearts out together! Figuratively and literally. Your voice is the audible expression of you, your soul, your spirit. Bring your inside life out into the world with the support of Kayla, your facilitator, and the group of singers ready to support you and your authentic voice.

This is a masterclass style voice workshop where each singer will get 1:1 instruction from Kayla Green, a voice teacher, singer, actor, with over 2 decades of performance experience. If you are looking for a place to feel supported in your voice, this is the place be. If you are looking for a place where you can learn to sing with ease and confidence, this is the place to be. If you are looking to foster and solidify your connection to your voice through body and spirit, this is the place to be. If you are looking for an opportunity to sing that does not have a 2 drink minimum, this is the place to be. There are 10 slots available for masterclass work and space open to audit the class and participate in some of the group work.

The principles of Kayla’s teachings have been developed from her close work with Jonathan Stancato and his Inside Voice Technique: an ecstatic, 5-octave, mindbody approach to voice and song, as well as her extensive work in the classical Bel Canto tradition in voice, and her deep love for musical theatre, americana/folk music, rock and roll, and The Great American Songbook. Kayla is one of only 6 people to ever be trained by Jonathan to teach his techniques. To teach you that you ARE a singer, and a great one at that, is one of her deepest pleasures.

Bring your favorite song with you either in your head or with lyrics available (on phone, tablet, or best option, paper). I will ask that you have 4 consecutive lines memorized. for example:

1. Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
2. That saved a wretch like me
3. I once was lost, but now am found
4. was blind, but now I see -"Amazing Grace"

Any song is a "good song" for this event, as long as you LIKE the song and LIKE to sing the song. Even better if it tugs on your heart a bit.
