Voice, Vibration & the Chakras
Saturday 14th November
In person
This introduction workshop invites you to explore the vibrational energy of the voice and its relationship to simple sounding of chakras as a starting point, through movement, breath and sound.
We will investigate how the voice is shaped by the body and how different vocal postures, which are unseen physical positions and patterns of muscular engagement, influence the quality, resonance and power of our sound. The focus will be playing with this.
By becoming more aware of the unseen movement and vibration of the voice, we will expand our available sounds, deepen our relationship with our own voice and explore how embodied vocal practice can support connection, wellbeing and a deeper experience with getting to know our own voice more intimately.
If you are interested in sound, singing, healing, this morning is for you. No experience of any kind required.

Day Courses
If you are a performer looking to learn or brush up your accent and dialect skills the accent drop in will be a 2-hour online session where we go through the structure and rules of a specified accent followed by some application time with feedback on your application of the accent.
I use the Knight-Thompson Speechwork framework for accent work and will structre the presentation and performance feedback based on the 4 P’s – People, Posture, Prosody and Pronunciation.
