Led by Rafał Habel and Julianna Bloodgood, this workshop is  physical at its core and ensemble based. An in-depth exploration of the relationship between body, voice, text and music- ensemble, partner and self.

Through a physical approach to performance training, we seek to reveal an honest and authentic  body whereby revealing the performer’s inner life and enlivening the entire creative process. Every  aspect of the work creates a deep sense of listening and responsiveness to the impulses that arise  within one’s own body and from the collective ensemble. We will deepen the body-voice connection  and explore how sound is derived and physically experienced. That through a flow of movement  and breath we can awaken sound vibrations within the body resonating the bones and tissues  creating a visceral understanding of the voice and awakening new possibilities for song, text and  vocal improvisation.

This workshop contributes to the actor’s technique, dance, singing disciplines, musical and  physical theatre by awakening a sense of internal and external rhythm, working with physical  impulse, spatial awareness and focus. Each exercise will deepen the body’s connection to impulses  and stimulus and gradually interconnect all aspects of the craft. The manifestation of the work is  dynamic, contemplative and entirely musical.
