Voice as Movement

Service Description

with Guest Artist Peter Sciscioli Tuesday October 20, 2026 7PM-8:30PM Suggested Donation $10-$20 Come explore ways to express your voice through your moving body. The workshop will culminate in an open score with others, integrating newfound skills and possibilities. This workshop is intended for anyone interested in exploring the voice as a practice and/or in performance. The workshop begins with a movement warm-up, tuning in to how we breathe and how breath can move through the body as an opener, an expressive tool, and as a starting point for making any sound. From there, students will be guided through a practice of moving vocal/physical vibration into different parts of our bodies to discover and open resonance in some of its myriad forms. Shaping and sculpting our breath and sound with the throat/tongue/teeth/lips, we’ll look to access greater ease in speaking with our whole bodies. We’ll also approach singing while moving as a way to expand resonance. My aspiration is to uncover the benefits of this practice in and of itself, and as a potentially potent tool for expressing ourselves more fully in the world.
