Do you play the instrument VOICE? Do you long to create music with other vocal instruments?
As a vocalist, I often feel that this is like finally being able to play again and find new playmates. Within a given structure and different forms, we play different roles. And if you learn the game, you can benefit from playing with anyone regardless of level and experience. Playfulness is one of the most serious and finest things there is! Let's PLAY music together!
In the art of CVI, you are a fully fledged instrument in who encounter other people's vocal instruments. You are a soloist, band member, orchestra and conductor, with your body and soul – your instrument.
Do you know who Bobby mc.Ferrin is? He popularized CVI and circle singing, but it is actually an ancient art form that exists in many cultures.
Have you tried improvisation with Kajsa Norrby or Tom Keegan before? If so, you have gotten a little insight into what CVI and VPA can mean. There is so much more! Let's create music together - all the way in, all the way out!
