About the event
Gritos; On Finding the Source of Our Voices…
We will be using gritos as a way of finding our own deeper personel voice, to ground the creative mind in our bodies, to root the voice in our hearts, and to both release and control emotions in the body and the voice.. There will be various visualization exercises, a lot of playing with physical stances, a great deal of sound making experimentation, and a few short writing/art prompts to examine how we perceive our voices. No experience or familiarity with gritos is needed.
Registration fee; $100
