This workshop is for those who want to express and experience themselves through their voice and songs. During two day practice, we will have a unique opportunity to dive deep into the nature of our voices, all while learning songs and spending time in a magical Prague city.

The work will be both physical and vocal. We will blend the personal experience of body-voice connection and universal stories carried by the songs. There will be space for both group and individual work.

Olga says:

Voice is a current mirror of you, here and now. It carries your physical and mental state, as well as your character and imagination. I invite you to discover and experience your own unique vocal identity. We will not be looking for any “pretty” sound. We will explore Authentic Voice mirroring you here and now. Aesthetics will be a side effect, not a goal. We will do away with unnecessary forms, fully trusting ourselves and our voices.

Songs are vehicles of emotions and life stories. Polyphonic harmonies and disharmonies are an invitation for meeting in deep listening. They carry universal stories through time and space. We will connect to these stories through our own bodies and minds.

The Authentic Voice is my own approach inspired by works and methods of great leaders in the field like Kristin Linklater Voice, Body-Mind Centering and Processwork (Amy and Arnold Mindell; Unintentional Music by Lane Arye).

No requirements. All you need is your desire to experience. Each moment you can decide to take one step at the time on the Way of the Voice. It can be a beginning or a continuation of deepening practice.

Please bring with you some water and wear comfortable clothes. We will work without shoes (barefoot/socks), sometimes laying down on the floor. If the weather allows we may also work outside in Nature.
