LOVE SINGING WITH OTHERS?
WANT TO BE MORE PLAYFUL WITH YOUR VOICE?
Join us for this two day Creative Voice workshop and experience the joys of vocal improvisation!
Creative Voice provides a delicious opportunity to express your aliveness through voice. Through a playful, multi-layered approach to improvised singing, you develop the courage to experiment with others and extend the expressive possibilities of the human voice.

IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL
• Explore connections between voice, body, breath and the imagination.
• Bring together vocalising, creativity, story telling and music making.
• Bring the uniqueness of your own musicality and voice to a co-created community of sound.
PERFECT FOR aspiring and established singers, shower soloists, experimental vocalists, improvisers, people who sing or would like to sing in choirs or a cappella groups, musicians, music therapists, speech therapists, and anyone who would like to develop their capacity for attunement, spontaneity and creativity through voice.
CREATIVE VOICE is FACILITATED by HILDE KNOTTENBELT, who began developing this process in 1987. Since then she has led workshops throughout Australia, New Zealand and in Switzerland. Hilde has an extensive background in the creative arts and psychodrama and brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to every workshop. Hilde skilfully facilitates groups of all backgrounds and abilities, creating a relaxed and supportive atmosphere in which to explore, create and express through the medium of voice.
