EMBODIED VOICE FLOW
2-day workshop with Alessio Castellacci
HAMBURG | 3-4 May 2025
▼ ▼ ▼
Embodied Voice Flow is a vocal-physical process which invites you to re-discover an intimate relationship with your primal voice and its profound sensitivity, through a series of somatic investigations on deep listening, embodied vocality, collaborative improvised music. Each session opens a space to connect with the pleasure of creating music with our breath, voice, mouth, body, and with our innate instinct for expression and connection through sound. We combine these practices to create different forms of vocal improvisation whilst grounding within presence and awareness, expressing our vital creativity through sound and movement, and listening with the whole body at the same time we start to cultivate the art of living in the present moment. The overall trajectory of each session follows a designed progression from the functional aspects of voice and body (breath anatomy, elements of acoustics and phonetics) to the realm of improvised musical flow - the ‘music of the now’.
The core practices of the Embodied Voice Flow are:
- Somatic practices of Voice Embodiment: experiencing voice and body as an integrated whole, approaching our voice through touch with hands-on work, to experience the sound as molecular vibration, a tactile input from-within-and-to the body.
- Pulsing/tuning: working with spontaneous pulsations and melodies as a way to experience music in a playful, intimate, naked sense; we tune our listening to the complex rhythms that are present in our speech, breath, movement, and learn how to harness these micro-beats to create improvised percussive vocal music. We access the endless possibilities of pulsations, sound textures and melodies, organizing them through real-time phrasing and instant compositions.
- Collaborative Vocal Improvisation (CVI): organizing emerging percussive-melodic patterns in a collective musical flow within improvised sound journeys. This is a moment of celebration and togetherness, of witnessing music shaping through a circular process of repetition, layering, transformation, osmosis, story telling, individuality and connectivity.
The workshop is open to anyone, no need to have a music background!
