Vocal improvisation workshop by Elise Caron
Presentation
“The act of improvising, thanks to its randomness, affords acknowledgment of proceeding blindly, causing things, voices, words, sounds (from the mouth or from instruments) to come forth, which would not otherwise be suspected but is sometimes more in our likeness than previously-acquired skill: in acquiring a foreign language words are often learned whose sound comes closer to their meaning than those in one’s own native language.”
Take this text by Fantazio, apply it to vocal improvisation, and you will likely be quite close to the attitude of Elise Caron in this workshop.
The voice, for exploration devoid of partitions in genre or technique. This delves deep into the well of human emotions to convert them into artistic energy. Looking inward to oneself and with several at once.
Lovers of risk, professionals or voice fans, don’t stay away!
Method
Group or small group workshops alternating with time for individual work.
Vocal work in subgroups.
2 half-days are organized in common with the vocal improvisation workshop led by Élise Caron on the same dates, 16 through 22 August. The two workshops will be considered by Andy Emler and Élise Caron as mutually complementary.
