1 May – Meaningful Path of Voice through body, movement, breathing and song – Mieczysław LITWIŃSKI and Saba KRASOCZKO (Poland)

MEANINGFUL PATH OF VOICE 
through body, movement, breathing and song
 
led by Mieczysław LITWIŃSKI and Saba KRASOCZKO (Poland)
 
 
Thursday May 1st, 10 - 17:30 
 
 
An in-depth vocal workshop in which openness and concentration play an equal role. We take the human voice as an integral part of the whole human being and we work on it, through different dimensions and intensities of movement and breathing. This is gradually enriched by more ordered, musical qualities. We discover musicality in what is organic and natural, and then, with the use of the Indian instrument harmonium, the percussion of a little drum and our steps, we bring in more and more music.

We improvise, learning from the world of nature: imagining the birds, the trees, the sea and creating images with our voices and movements.

One of the goals is to really feel our body and breathing, and with them – the voice, how it is created, how it permeates the space, going out of the body and mastering the air around. The measurable effect of that is relaxation, intense experience and at the same time the feeling of power that the voice gives.

The next step is to expand and extend the voice.

We go through a progression of vowels and consonants through the body. Then we introduce the participants into Indian and/or European musical scales, and the participants learn to improvise in the scales.

Then, warmed up and gone through many vocal adventures, we come to sing the songs. We work with Litwinski’s compositions from the cycle Missa Pagana on poems of polish writer Edward Stachura. The songs celebrating the wandering and everything natural and supernatural on the path, are composed to be sang under the open sky, accompanied by natural sounds.

The workshop has an opening, freeing quality, extending vocal possibilities.

This workshop is for everyone, there is no need of precedent singer experience.
