EXPLORING NEW DIMENSIONS OF CHOIR

“The Moving Voices” is a course of 10 classes focused on exploring the interweaving between Voice and Body. The aim is to unfold the potential of our individual and collective soundscape and connect with the essential power of the human voice.

This is an invitation to any kind of singer, voicer, performer or mover curious about embodied

( choir ) singing. Movement, breath and body-work will support collective improvisation and the singing of polyphonic music – from traditional Georgian songs to contemporary pieces.

We will enhance our capacity to resonate with each other, while staying present in our bodies, applying different methods such as Conscious Vibration, Deep Listening, Instant Composition, Breath Work and Body-Mind Centering® .

​

For this choir series, a basic ability to match pitch/sing in tune and to hold your own part while singing in harmony with others is helpful. Most important is your willingness to listen and learn, and a sincere interest in working with body-awareness, movement and voice.
