Global Sound and Movement Workshops:

Leah and Chloe’s vocal workshops explore sound vibration and body movement as tools for self-awareness.  The space is created to help each participant to embody the physical art of making sound from all the many resonators in the body. This workshop utilizes the expressions of the body through movement and music using a variety of techniques including vocal contact improv. creative sound improvizations, group harmonics, singing techniques and movement drawing upon Yoga and Modern Dance.

Song-improvisation combined with creative movement will provide a pathway to loosen the body and open the vocal chords while bringing participants into their own soundscape.

Chanting, Toning, Improvisational Voice Techniques, and Song Sharing is drawn from personal experience as well as music rooted in the American Southern Blues, traditional roots music from Brazil, Malawi, Bulgaria, Cuba, Appalachia, the Balkans, and more. Global Sound workshops allow each participant to explore their individual voice as well as how our sounds relate to one another and how the relationship forms it’s own rhythmic harmonies.

Come, Participate and learn to create your own global sounds.

Workshops catered to each individual group dynamic.
