WORKSHOP: The PROTEAN VOICE Intensive Workshop – finding Form in Text and Song
with Kevin Crawford and Caroline Boersma
Dates: 19-24 August 2025
Content: In 2025 the Protean Voice workshop takes a step forward towards offering you tools to integrate into your own professional field: be you performer, teacher, therapist, manager…The thrust of the workshop remains the protean nature of the voice: its capacity to reveal to us a multiplicity of sounds, that evoke emotion, that summon up character, that drive us to communicate. A wealth of expression that can colour experience and inform us in so many ways.
But how can we transfer the alchemy of a workshop situation into our personal and professional practice? What pathways might such a transfer take and how can we pick out the strands that will give us a basis for re-connecting with such transformative power? These are just some of the questions we want to share with you in this workshop.
Each Day: *Daily warm-up sequences designed to open up body, voice and spirit *Solo and group vocal research, that extends range and elasticity *The challenge of text work: how to expand interpretation *The dynamic flow of musical imagination *Reflection in practice on points of departure, pathways and outcomes in our creative work.
Caroline brings her finely tuned ear to this work, helping us to balance music and muscle.
Note: We are looking for a small group of students (6-10) who have some experience in voicework and want to take their practice further. As some of the participants will be coming from outside Italy we would ask that you confirm participation before 30th May latest. A deposit will then be requested to secure your place.
