24th Annual Summer Course
Tuning the Body & Voice
with Patricia Bardi
Voice Movement Integration (VMI Practice) combines voice with movement to stimulate and organize the body's physical, perceptual and emotional awareness.
This workshop centers on training that develops skills connecting voice, movement, physical repatterning and improvisation. These approaches are complementary and use physical awareness and movement as a source for understanding the voice as a whole body experience. These skills are then applied to Vocal Dance and improvisation to enliven and broaden the creative process.
This workshop is of particular interest to actors, singers, dancers, public speakers and anyone interested in enhancing their use of voice.
Classes are taught in English (with an Italian translation) from 10am – 16:00 daily.
Activities include:
• Practicing Active Breath to integrate breathing with movement and sound.
• Engaging the fluidity of weight in the body through vocal resonance and vibration combined with actively moving in space.
• Experiencing the anatomy of the voice as a whole body experience through vocal & physical practices exploring the skeletal, organ & fluid systems.
• Using the voice directly with movement in hands on practice & physical repatterning.
• Developing lively, full expression through voice & movement improvisation structures combining vocal, physical, visual and temporal elements in solo, duet and group work.and the body.
