“The support I experienced during the 10 days was amazing. It allowed me permission to take risks I never would have without it.”
—Lisa Waines

“Highly recommend [it] for all performers and those interested in voice and sound. A supportive and relaxed environment with great trust and safety allowing for risks to be taken and vulnerability to be explored through voice, sound, song, and text.”
—Jodi Sadowsky

The vocal training central to these workshops focuses on exploring and expanding range and character, and emphasizes good use of breath, body alignment, and physical grounding. There is a special emphasis on the connection between the voice and the personality of each participant. The workshops may include the development of original material through improvisation with scenes, text, scores, songs, and space.
