The art of sourcing your own story as inspiration for vocal improvisation, the power of the word in its various uses and the art of storytelling in public speaking, organizing and theater.

The ART of VOiCE Intensive
July 16, 2012
The ART of VOiCE is an intensive for singers, actors and public speakers who are interested in reconnecting to fundamental technique, vocal wellness and deepening connections to their authentic voices. Over the course of 5 sessions a group of 15 artists/learners will explore new and creative ways for reaching audiences in performance and when presenting. We will unpack the connection to harmonic voice leading and broader approaches to improvisation. We will also spend time as public speakers, actors and performance artists learning methods and techniques to further our individual artistic voices. The first three sessions will be led by Beatrice Anderson, vocalist and educator who’s spent the last 10 years building a pedagogy focused on empowering the individual voice by passing on a core knowledge of vocal health, voice technique and storytelling. The last two sessions will be led by Ayinde Jean-Baptiste, an orator who has been speaking publicly for 25 yrs, and a historian of the voice who upholds the value of people telling their own stories. Guest artists/instructors
Kelly Zen-Yie Tsai(spoken word artist, playwright, screenwriter) and Kwami Coleman (musicologist, composer, pianist)
