In this 3-hour workshop, you will explore and expand your capacity to express your whole self. All genders, all ages welcome! Bring your monologues, speeches, poems, voiceovers, and even songs to explore in this 1-day workshop for trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming individuals, or anyone who wants their voice to more fully express their identity. Through group acting games and vocal exercises, you will investigate how you use your voice (and by extension your whole self) to communicate. Pitch is just one feature - there’s intonation and rate and resonance and non-verbal elements, to name a few.
The facilitators will use their varied experience in acting, performing, clinical voice therapy and life to coach to the individual needs and interests of the participants. Wear comfortable clothing and be prepared to move and make some weird noises! (Bring a one-minute cut of any material that you like - it should be memorized, but does not need to be performance ready. Tip: best to pick something that challenges you.)
The class price is $100 but to remove barriers to access, this class is being offered as Pay-What-You-Can. You may choose to pay any amount up to $100 - or to pay nothing at all.
To register, please fill out this form.
