WHAT KIND OF QUEST
● Safer space
● Critical dialogue: reflection on our voices in the world
● Participants/co-researchers define starting point & learning wishes
● Action-reflection cycles
● Multidisciplinary experimentation space
e.g. self-expression through sound, movement, visual...
● Collective creation of new knowledge through lived experiences
● Sharing resources
● Emphasis on process, journey, co-creation
When I facilitate I take "the voice" as a starting point to work on a certain theme. The voice for me is not only about the musical aspect of singing, this also includes your voice that makes up your visions, ideas, aspirations and fears.
FOR ALL?!
I aim to work with people from all ages, gender identities and abilities because I believe that voice work can be relevant for every body at a different stage of our lives.
Are you willing to step in a collective artistic research process?
What do you wish to discover? Why? What actions shall we undertake? Let's try and find out!
I host workshops for groups separately as well: e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ persons, people with disabilities, women, and people on all intersections of these.
**You don't need to have any artistically trained background! Enthousiasm and engagement is all you need for a good start.
FOR PROFESSIONALS
e.g. art educators, (music) teachers, cultural workers...
Are you willing to experiment?
Willing to get inspired, challenged and add spice into your curriculum, project proposals, practice?
Learn how to have an attitude that can facilitate proces learning in a more free work form.
Tailored to the current needs, questions, themes of the participants.
