Content
In this intensive workshop, you will review, clarify and deepen your connection to the exercises in the entire Linklater voice progression. Not only will you go into more depth, but you will also explore new exercises designed to awaken a sensory, imagistic and embodied relationship with your voice. You will continue to free the connection between your thoughts, your feelings and your voice and apply this to speaking a speech, a poem or text of your choice. Lots of individual attention will be given to participants in this workshop.
The exercises include adapted physical movements from many somatic disciplines, such as floor relaxation, arm swings and other activities. All these can be adjusted to individual physical needs.
What Do I Need:
Space: enough floor space to stretch your arms and legs out, whether on the floor or whilst standing.
Loose comfortable clothing suitable for physical exercise: No belts. No jeans.
