The purpose of the course is to allow students to develop and strengthen their voice and body; to safely explore the connections between the two and to express themes through improvisation. The course develops the ability to delve into the subliminal mind, to improvise more readily alone and with others and to strengthen improvisational compositions, combining voice and body.
Each session will start with a short physical warm-up, a vocal warm-up, the development of technical vocal skills and the capacity to improvise vocally. The rest of the session will be spent on improvisations combining body and voice – alone, in pairs and in groups.
 
* No experience in voice is required, though any prior experience will contribute and be deepened by these explorations.
