Voice, Poetry, Performance – Roy Hart Voice and Body Work

“Our deepest fear is not that we are insufficient. Our deepest fear is of being powerful beyond what can be measured. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to call myself brilliant, great, talented, fantastic? But who are you not to call yourself that? You are a child of God- keeping yourself, small, does not serve the world…” (Marianne Williamson/ Nelson Mandela)

The workshops “Voice, Poetry, Performance…” see themselves as a place of experimentation and playground for adults. You don’t have to be a singer or actor to discover the joy of your own voice. Curiosity and a desire to express oneself, movement and improvisation are enough. Beyond ‘right’ or ‘wrong’, ‘can’ or ‘can’t’, we discover all kinds of sounds, noises and melodies that live inside us: be they light or dark, wild or delicate, playful or contemplative, all are welcome.

It is not the perfect voice that is sought here, but the one that lives within us and demands expression, everything that shows itself is welcome.

Poems by Rainer Maria Rilke, Rose Ausländer, Pablo Neruda and many others serve as a basis and source of inspiration, pointing to a world that lies behind the one visible to us. What sounds do they lure out of us, what images are contained in them, what forms of expression come to mind?

Previous experience of any kind is neither necessary nor a hindrance.
