How much do I know about my voice? How much of it’s expressive potential do I use? What is its musicality? How can my voice be a key to a deeper connection with other people? What happens when we sing together? What does it teach us about coexistance?

Two days of practical dialogue with one’s own voice explored in the field of it’s individual natural sound scape and musicality. The workshop will take place in blocks of 3 hour sessions in the work space of Masia Cal Pau Cruset in Torrelles de Foix near Barcelona, in a peaceful and creative environment which allows for a deep and calm exploration. The work touched during this session has been developed in the domain of theatre but are accessible to anyone interested in breaking through their usual vocal boundaries. Georgian polyphonic songs gathered through TeatrZAR’s expeditions in Georgia will be used as a base for the exploration of common sounding.
