Voicescope Intensive @ Young Centre

VOICESCOPE INTENSIVE:
A 4-day exploratory workshop in voice and movement
with Patricia O'Callaghan, Suba Sankaran and Claudia Moore

The Voicescope Intensive is a professional development workshop in which artists will be exposed to a variety of approaches to the voice, including both diverse cultural (western/eastern) and musical (classical/jazz/cabaret) styles. The Voicescope Intensive is aimed at emerging and established performing artists of all disciplines who are interested in expanding the scope of their voice. The program is comprised of four days of master classes followed by a public workshop presentation.

Thursday Oct 22, 6:00pm – 10:00pm
Friday Oct 23, 11:00am – 6:30pm
Saturday Oct 24, 11:00am – 6:30pm
Sunday Oct 25, 11:00am – 6:30pm

The Voicescope Intensive was conceived by Young Centre Resident Artist Patricia O'Callaghan and will be led by O'Callaghan (classical and cabaret), together with fellow Resident Artists Suba Sankaran (jazz and classical Indian) and Claudia Moore (movement). The focus of Voicescope is on process rather than a polished sound or the development of particular repertoire. Objectives are freer vocal expression, improved body-voice connection, comfort exploring unfamiliar vocal styles and increased confidence.
