Circlesinging, Vocal River, Musica do Circulo workshop
Date: Saturday, Feb 1st
Time: 10-4
$50/person
INFORMATION: Collaborative Vocal Improvisation (CVI) is an approach to group singing that emphasizes spontaneous, shared music-making without a pre-written song, composer, or conductor. Participants engage in deep listening to themselves, each other, and the space around them, fostering emergent leadership and creativity. Although improvisation can be intimidating, it's also exhilarating and nourishing. This beginner-intermediate introduction is for those with little to no improvisation experience who are open to exploring vocal expression.
To join, participants should be able to sing in tune and keep a beat. Vocal Improvisation helps build confidence, reduce self-judgment, and nurtures a deeper appreciation for one's voice.
Teacher Description: Your Body Sings combines Paris' extensive experience as a Feldenkrais practitioner with her work with singers and instrumentalists. The workshop focuses on helping participants improve their self-use—how they move and engage their body—to enhance the quality of the sound they produce. Through simple movements, the session aims to free the voice, making it easier to access creativity and improve improvisation skills.
