Continuing Courses are for those who have attended and completed the Network's Impact Course. Wherever you are on your personal learning continuum is where each course begins for you.
COURSE SCHEDULE
2010: More about the Voice - This course is designed for everyone who works with ensemble or solo singers. It builds on material introduced at the Impact Course. We will explore personal voice capabilities for expressive speaking and singing, voice health, human compatible teaching and vocal pedagogy for choral and solo singing. The course will begin with brief “re-entry” experiences in how voices are made and “played” and in human-compatible learning.
2011: Conducting Gestures and Voice is an immersion course in the effects of conducting gestures and verbal-nonverbal communications on singers and their voices. The course will begin with brief “re-entry” experiences in how voices are made and “played” and in human-compatible learning.
Everyone will have opportunities to conduct the entire group and will be given feedback by Axel Theimer and Babette Lightner. These sessions may be videotaped for study, and taken home at the end of the course.
Both courses offer daily group sessions to continue study in movement efficiency. Sessions are based on principles of human functioning and influenced by Alexander Technique, LearningMethods, and Laban Movement Analysis. They are designed to give you practical tools for accessing your inherent vitality, expressiveness and grace by recognizing and preventing unwanted tensions and interfering habits.
Faculty: Liz Grefsheim, Carol Klitzke, Babette Lightner, Axel Theimer
