Exploring the Unchained Voice
 
All sounds are beautiful sounds when they are voiced in their optimal aesthetic context.  Using the tools of the Centre du Theatre International de Roy Hart in Malerargues, France, this workshop will be taught an associate member of the company.  It focuses on taking apart what is generally considered the "beautiful voice" (or "bel canto" voice) and encourages participants to extend themselves into new areas of using and developing vocal warmups, exercises and repertoire.  We make sounds and sing in between the notes:  sing into the cracks!  Participants do not need to be singers, but unchained singing is considered to be a part of the whole voice of the actor on a daily basis.  Using a piano, a piece of fruit and the actor's bodies and voices, we will unchain the daily parameters which hinder the actor's voice and encourage "singing into the cracks" "finding your peeps" and "finding your engines" as just a few of the exercises for opening the actor's voice to new possibilities.  Our goal is for each workshop participant to locate sounds that she didn’t even realize existed in their instrument.  Participants should bring a short song verse in any language
