Company:
Women in Sound
OUTLINES, BODIES & BLANK SPACES:
IMPROVISATIONAL PRACTICES THROUGH MOVEMENT & VOICE
for women-identifying and non-binary artists
Using multimodal approaches to live composition, instructor Eleni Arapoglou will guide participants as they use shapes, fluidity and stillness in the body as a source of vocal expression.
Attendees will work as a group to develop spatial and physical awareness; examine links between body, voice and breath; and experiment with imagery, rhythm and form to create improvised sounds.
The workshop adopts practices and methodologies from Action Theater, 5Rhythms, Gaga movement, Alexander Technique, and Circlesongs.
Open to all levels––no experience necessary. Participants should wear comfortable clothes.
