- Q&A on the Somatic Voice training

Online Q&A with Marion Evers

May. 6 2026

Voices are as individual, fascinating, and diverse as the people themselves.

In this further education program, we explore the unique corporeal dimension of sound and language in manifold ways. We support the processes of individual liberation and the unfolding of each unique voice, while accompanying the emergence of communal, (linguistic-) musical, and collective processes.

In particular, we utilize somatic methods such as the Experiential Breathaccording to Prof. Ilse Middendorf, Atem-Tonus-Ton®, Ursang, Body-Mind-Centering®, Vocal Improvisation, and Experiential Philosophy to interrogate the physical access to one’s own voice, making it tangibly perceptible. Receiving and Listening – an internal rather than external tuning – will play a major role in this process. Releasing the potential of your own voice is supported, allowing the vocal sound to be more finely differentiated in its versatile qualities and expanding the resonance of the entire body. Based on this deepening physical engagement, the voice shapes itself toward expression: singing and speaking.

The online info evening is free of charge and provides space for content-related and practical questions regarding the program.
