Where is it, the pleasure to sing? We will go on an adventure together, searching for this pleasure close to the heart and beyond the limits of the voice. A warm-up that integrates the body and voice. Games and theatre improvisations that release the full vocal (and creative) potential. Roy Hart Voice teacher candidate Harlan Chambers is excited to offer this stage, inspired by a mélange of his training with the Centre International Artistique Roy Hart, the biomechanics of hatha yoga, and le jeu of Ecole Philippe Gaulier.
