Description

Course 1: Line, Projection & Intention
Thursday, Oct 15th: 5:30 – 7:00 pm
Jenny Miller, Dr. Alexandra Baybutt:

Jenny as a voice specialist and Alexandra as a Laban/Bartenieff practitioner explore how a singer creates line, projects sound, and conveys intention with breath and body-shaping. We will look at the body/mind response to narrative – how do we grip our audience with the story we want to tell and how do we tell it expressively?

Course 2: Refresh and re-boot
Wednesday, Oct 28th:  5:30 – 7:00 pm
Penny Randall Davis/Evelyn Freebury

Explore ways to refresh your existing vocal technique and all it includes: your breath, your body, yourself. Barefoot movement educator Evy Freebury and vocal tutor Penny Randall-Davis come together to offer their practice and experience in finding vitality from within, and resilience in action-exploring stillness, vibrant movement, and vocal exercises.

Course 3: Vocal colour
Wednesday, November 18th:  5:30 – 7:00 pm
Jenny Miller and Evelyn Freebury

Classical singers want to ‘sound beautiful’. This can become conflated with ‘monotonous consistency’. What is vocal colour in classical voice and how can we find more colours to use? Jenny Miller and Evelyn Freebruy will explore ways to liberate colour literally from the inside out.

Course 4: All things coloratura
Wednesday, November 25th: 5:30 – 7:00 pm
Penny Randall Davis

How do we scale the heights, and maintain optimum flexibility whilst singing with our freest sound? A fun exploration for all voice types of the fascinating art of coloratura.

Course 5: Introducing Dalcrose  – Shaping phrases
Thursday, December 10th:  5:30 – 7:00 pm

Brilliant solo violinist Naomi Burrell is also an expert Dalcrose trainer, and we thoroughly recommend that you dive into this exploration of movement phrasing, based on the pioneering work of Emile Jacques Dalcrose, himself a student of Fauré, and Bruckner. A deeply refreshing way to connect to music.
