In this class we will look at how to take care of our voices in a kind and easeful way, learn various warm-ups and get some guidelines on how to create our own to make them work for us. We will also incorporate some elements from the Vocal Play class I have done in the past. We’ll play with our voices through games and improvisations, songs and invented languages and our collective creativity. Our goal will be to approach ourselves and our voices, wherever they are, with patience and intention.
The goal here is freedom and fun! Every day, we are presented with situations that call for us to improvise, at work, at home, in line at a store. But we don’t worry about or fear improvisation in these situations, we just go for it. In this class, we will go for that same sense of winging it. We will learn songs by ear that we may never sing again, songs that we might put in our pockets for another day. We will do group improvisations based on themes or sounds. We will have a good time!
