About the Workshop
Participants will explore the fundamental techniques of Fitzmaurice Voicework®: Destructuring to widen range of breathing and voice for fuller self-expression, and Restructuring to practice a most physiologically efficient way to breathe for communication and performance. We will also work with text, speech-work, and song. You will finish the experience with a practice for enhancing the somatic-vocal relationship that integrates breath, body, voice and imagination. Fitzmaurice Institute in-person workshops build hours towards eligibility for teacher certification.
You will learn to:
- organically engage body-breath-imagination to speak or sing with a deeper sense of connection and authenticity
- identify habitual body tensions that compromise posture and breathing
- expand your breath, resonance and range
- address issues of vocal health, repair and maintenance for sustainable, long-term voice use
- take quick, easy steps towards nervous system regulation
The workshop is usually taught by 2 leading FV teachers – Mallika being one of them – both teachers bring their specific talents and expertise to the work. They guide participants towards communicating with presence power and a sense of play!
