Unfolding Somatic Voice
COMPASS funding for somatic voice work
Voices are as individual, fascinating and diverse as people are. This training course focuses on body-awareness-based breathing and voice practice in groups, partner and individual work. The special bodily and effortless dimension of breath, sound and language can be experienced from different perspectives.
In particular, the experience-centred somatic methods Experiential Breath according to Prof. Ilse Middendorf, Breath-Tone-Tone®, Ursang and vocal improvisation make it possible to experience bodily access to one's own voice in a concrete way. Combined with knowledge of applied anatomy and theoretical embedding in the principles of experiential philosophy, we build foundations and new approaches to the expressive power of the voice.
Benefits:
- Differentiate body sensations more strongly & experience physical presence as a cornerstone of stress reduction
- Regulatory stimuli in the interplay of the breathing process of inhalation - exhalation - calm breathing
- Basic access to relaxation and serenity through less “effort” in the breathing process
- Free breathing as the basis for the potential of your own voice
- By working on 'resistance' (breath-tonus-tone) new body-related expressive variance of the voice
- more effortless use of the voice
- Discover liveliness and vitality in the sound of the voice
- Expand the permeability and resonance capacity of the whole body (auto-sonification)
