First Time Special! Come in for a private session tailored to your needs for just $60. Good through the fall.

[ Voicelab 2 - begins April 2005

The second level workshops are for those that have been previous Voicelab participants or who are already familiar with their voice and have some sort of evolved connection with it. We continue to develop primary modes of body/mind awareness and exploration while engaging more rigorous extended vocal technique, with structured improvisation coming to the foreground of our work. There will be a special focus on cultivating vocal tone and ear training for singing and improvising. Some music and voice theory will accompany the exploratory work and we'll take a look at strategies for composing or writing for voice. ]

Warm up to some new approaches for your voice through breath, writing and extended explorations and have a cup of tea too!

set 1: breathing voice focuses on the greatest renewable resource we have - the breath. through exercises that release and strengthen we clear a path for deeper, more complete breathing for any kind of voice production or simply to become more sensitive to the breath of life itself...Thursdays, Oct. 7 & 14, 7-8:30 pm

set 2: writing through the voice addresses the relationship of writing and voice. explore inner voices with words and sounds and the other way around. cultivate an open exchange between language and the feeling sound of your voiced body... Thursdays, October 21 & 28, 7-8:30 pm

set 3: the extended voice is an opportunity for you to really expand not only your vocal range and skills, but the very perception you hold about what the voice is and does. take risks and have big fun with the artful play of voice out of bounds... Thursdays, November 4 & 18, 7-8:30 pm (note that Nov. 11 is skipped)

This mini lab surveying voice cultures from around the world and across time only meets once a year. It's a great opportunity to gain a meaningful overview of different vocal styles and techniques that have developed in sometimes remarkable ways and with always remarkable results. Anyone that ever thought "I can't sing" simply because they didn't sound like Whitney Houston, Britney Spears or Pavorotti (or any other Western classical or pop icon) should take this class to understand the immense potential of the human voice and the unique approaches to creating your vocal sound. (We'll learn songs and tuning systems!). Also any 'world music' lover needs this perspective to find 'hidden' relationships between a culture, it's environmental and social fabric that all help to produce the life force knownas music.

Coming in the spring.

Early Bird Special: $95 (Nov. 25)

This is the creaive projects lab, culminating in a fully produced evening of new works for voice by the LOOP group that might not otherwise get made. Given cultural categories of acceptability and social expectations for the voice, LOOP plays an important role in insuring that exploratory work for voice gets developed and supported in a workshop environment and then brought to performance. In years past, LOOP has been seen at CBGB's 313 Gallery in Soho and at Dixon Place, a renowned incubator space for emerging artists and new material by seasoned ones. For LOOP 2002, we've extended and crafted the lab time to provide more of an opportunity to develop ideas and working processes before getting into the production phase of making the performance. The focus of our work is on the process of not only making performance for voice, but thinking it; that is, the questions of how and what and what if and why and why not. The forum is one that opens our respective processes to group review so that we can ponder and make together, and in that learn more about our own intentions and methods and the social space within which performance operates. So! 4 more sessions have been added to lay the foundation and to give rise to a more critically aware process of invention.

The public performance will occur sometime in the 3rd week of May. This is an incredible opportunity to get your work out there in a fully produced evening and LOOP is highly selective with limited enrollment, so call now to set up your appointment!
