VOICE MOVEMENT INTEGRATION & EXPRESSION returns to Roccatederighi in July, 2014

Voice Movement Integration (VMI Practice) combines voice with movement to stimulate and organize the body's physical, perceptual and emotional awareness.

This workshop centers on training that develops skills connecting voice, movement, physical repatterning and improvisation. These approaches are complementary and use physical awareness and movement as a source for understanding the voice as a whole body experience. These skills are then applied to Vocal Dance and improvisation to enliven and broaden the creative process.

This workshop is of particular interest to actors, singers, dancers, public speakers and anyone interested in enhancing their use of voice.

Classes are taught in English (with an Italian translation) from 10:00 - 16:00 daily.

Activities include:

  • Practicing Active Breath to integrate breathing with movement and sound.

  • Engaging the fluidity of weight in the body through vocal resonance and vibration combined with actively moving in space.

  • Experiencing the anatomy of the voice as a whole body experience through vocal & physical practices exploring the skeletal, organ & fluid systems.

  • Using the voice directly with movement in hands on practice & physical repatterning.

  • Developing lively, full expression through voice & movement improvisation structures combining vocal, physical, visual and temporal elements in solo, duet and group work.and the body.
Course Fee (excl. accommodation) EUR 450

‘Your work is absolutely inspiring.’
(Robin De Haas, singer & teacher)


Roccatederighi:

Roccatederighi is a medieval village set in beautiful rural Tuscany, an hour from Siena and near the sea. The timeless beauty of the area, rich in Etruscan & Renaissance art, creates an atmosphere that inspires creative exploration and the widening of our imagination. By direct contact with nature & welcoming people habits brought from city living slowly melt away.

The spacious, airy workshop studio is located in the heart of this lively and friendly village. It overlooks a lush Mediterranean landscape full of vineyards, olive groves, chestnut forests and picturesque farmland.

Just outside the studio door you can enjoy a morning cappuccino on a sunny terrace or dinner at one of the town’s family-run restaurants. After class you can walk through forests or relax enjoying breathtaking views of the Maremma region that stretches to the sea.

Over twenty years, Bardi’s Rocca Project has drawn performers, educators and therapists from around the world.

"This climate of wonderful hospitality and friendliness is very supportive of the creative work... going beyond the traditional artistic structures in the fields of choreography and theater." – Il Tirreno, Italy
