THE PROGRAMME OF WORKSHOPS (which are 3 day, 2 day or 1 day) includes:
Debra Hale (USA) 5 April
An accredited Linklater voice teacher, Debra will work on the body and voice
and breath, using Yoga, and the philosophies of Chinese medicine.
A Spell in Time (UK and Bulgaria) 5 April A Spell in Time Theatre Company’s
performances bring together a spell-binding mix of Bulgarian song, myth and
ritual, and this one day workshop will introduce participants to unique and
special Bulgarian vocal techniques, harmonies and mythological songs.
Enrique Pardo (France) 5 – 7 April
Co-Artistic Director of Pantheatre and Director of the International Myth
and Theatre Festival, Enrique will work with participants to build up
improvisation structures with voice and text, with a strong emphasis on
disassociation tactics.
Phil Minton (UK) 5 – 7 April
Take a vocal leap – Phil will lead participants on a voyage of discovery
through the instinctive and unusual vocal sounds produced by the human body
to create his ‘feral choir’.
Theatre Zar (Poland) 5 – 7 April
Wroclaw-based Theatre Zar brings together stirring harmonies and dissonance
in powerful music theatre, and will share their methods and songs with
participants.
Natalka Polovynka (Ukraine) 5 – 7 April

Wales with members of her group Maisternia Pisna to share the songs of her
native Ukraine with an emphasis on sound and song, the voice in performance.
Leigh Smiley (USA) 6 April
Using Linklater based vocal exploration, creative movement and writing, this
is an exploration of the Breath and Resonance of Archetype – an opportunity
to delve deeper into the ‘archetype’ from which you usually speak and
stretch the vocal boundaries of the archetypes which dwell in the shadow of
the psyche.
Bragod (Wales) 6 April
Bragod is the only ensemble performing historically-informed, medieval Welsh
bardic music and poetry. Robert Evans and Mary-Anne Roberts will guide you
through their 7-year experiment, which encompasses pitting the harmonics of
the voice against a musical instrument and an intensely physical, communal
exploration of the Trinidad carnival form, leading to a challenging,
visceral sound-world.
James D’Angelo (UK) 7 April
A leading authority on sound healing therapies and author of the book The
Healing Power of the Human Voice James shows how working holistically with

discovery.

the interpretation of songs.
