This 4-day workshop will provide a new context to experiment and play with your voice’s range, texture and character. The work includes singing and other approaches to music using your voice. The weekend is open to anyone wishing to engage creatively and explore new musical worlds, with or without previous training. The exact nature of our workshop will vary according to the experience and wishes of each participant.
Thanks to generous donors, we can offer a few partial scholarships.
Please submit your scholarship request by June 30th.
