10:40 - 11:40 VOICE-MOVEMENT THERAPY: The voice as a vessel for one’s personal story - Sebastiana Black (CZ/UK)
A presentation of one of the paths of working with the voice and body - Voice Movement Therapy. We’ll show you how this system works in terms of working with voice, so that it opens up sufficiently, is flexible and has stamina and timbre so can therefore be a bearer of a personal story and a vessel, but also reflect the emotional content of the story. And vice versa - a personal story is processed by the voice and movement.
