To Host a Community Voice Workshop!
Do you like to sing and want to develop a more flexible voice? Do you have a few friends you'd like to share a playful experience with? If so, you can host a Community Voice Workshop in your home, at your work site, or community group space. At the same time, you'll be helping me complete a Portland-based project long-in-the-making.
Since 1981 I've been introducing community folks, students, and other musicians to vocal improv games for partners and small groups: Voiceweaving. In 1995 I developed a sequence of Voiceweaving cards (based on the games) for use by the individuals and groups I work with. I've refined these Voiceweaving Cards into game sequences that support the development of individual musical skills and collaborative improvisation. I plan to write an accompanying book.
As I continue sharing the form, I want to get fresh inspiration from folks like you. So, I'm offering self-hosted, 2-session LABS focused on different interests:
• Vocal Play (For folks who want to playfully explore with their voices - and share the experience with friends)
• Improvisation (For experienced singers who want to strengthen personal and group vocal improvisation skills)
At the end of each session I'll ask participants to engage in a brief discussion and fill out a short questionnaire. Your input will be invaluable as I gather more ideas for the Voiceweaving book, which will contain all the exercises in the cards, plus in-depth tips on how to use them, and a bit of philosophy at the heart of the Voiceweaving Form. Scheduled for publication in winter, 2021-22.
