VOICEWEAVING ELEMENTS
A playful, interactive workshop that focuses on sounding the inner landscape and collaborating with others in a flow of rhythm, melody and harmony. We take time first to loosen up and free our voices through personal sounding.
Then we journey through a sequence of sound games with partners and groups. Step-by-step we practice elemental improvisational skills. Finally, we come together in full-group improvs, following the evolving songs as they transform within our circles.

VOICEWEAVING PLAY
Building on skills from Voiceweaving Elements, we dive into developing song-lines, play with partners to deepen listening skills, stabilize rhythms, co-create melody lines, and experiment with layering musical patterns into gorgeous, complex, rhythmic harmonies. Collaborating with others we learn to lead and follow, initiate and support and slip into that intuitive sweet spot where the song is upwelling between us, with no leader and no follower. (for folks who have taken Voiceweaving Elements or seasoned improvisers).
VOICEWEAVING JAMS
Jams engage seasoned singers in a group practice specific to the individuals involved. (usually for experienced improvisers or organized by specific groups)
CATCHING A SONG
Building on the work of Voiceweaving Play we set the course of our songs by adding experimental structure, topical focus and pre-composed elements. This is a small-group studio experience that focuses on the development of chant songs with the possibility of scoring them for public sharing.
