Dear list,
I thought some of you might be very interested in a workshop and concert by
German singer SONJA KEHLER in Cardiff, April 8 (concert) 9-11 (workshop)
which will be part of the international festival Giving Voice.
Sonja is one of Germany's leading actors and singers.
THREE DAY WORKSHOP, Tuesday 9th - Thursday 11th April
Sonja Kehler (GERMANY) The Full Bodied Brecht - It is Easy to Sing With
Your Whole Body
This workshop will introduce participants to Sonja’s unique breathing
technique which offers body training with: tension and counter tension; a
training of the body centre; an improvisation with body, tone and movements
and special exercises to activate nerves and sensibility. The work will be
developed through the interpretation of the songs of Bertolt Brecht, which
by their very nature provide wonderful material with which to explore the
voice. Sonja works on an individual basis with each participant helping them
to achieve a personal interpretation of their song.
Participants need to learn one Brecht song by heart and bring a copy of the
music. Sonja Kehler is an actress, singer and director from Germany who has
become famous for her personal interpretation of Brecht’s songs using her
extraordinary vocal and physical technique. Trained as an actress in the
tradition of Brecht, Stanislavski and Laban, Sonja has worked on both
classical and experimental stages.
