Theatre movement in Vocal Space (geannuleerd)

During this course, you will investigate how the two art disciplines Singing Improvisation and Theatre Movement empower and inspire each other. Where do they differ and where do they meet in various assignments? And what happens if we stage the theatrical and the vocal together on the floor?

What will you be doing?
We start the day with a thorough physical and vocal warming up. Then, together with the group, you will work with movement theater assignments such as ensemble work, Viewpoints and movement improvisation, followed by various lessons in vocal singing improvisation with exercises from Rhiannon’s ‘Vocal River improvisation’.  In different formations we will work with rhythms, harmony and melody (solo), in which co-creation is the magic word.

In the second part of the course, we will investigate in smaller groups how vocal improvisation and movement improvisation relate to each other – using the theatrical space, group synergetic movement and use of voice. The ‘instant composing’ derived from vocal improvisation, which arises from movement, images, a song or a poem, forms the starting point for this interdisciplinary encounter. We end the day with an interdisciplinary performance/presentation.
