What to expect:
The workshop will start with warm ups and some gentle harmony singing, bringing us all into the space led by Tara who will then pass on to Kate to take us through an inclusive & fun embodied singing process with voice & movement.
Kate will draw on somatic voice-and-body practices designed to release tension and improve functionality and explore the singing body as a full system, from micro (tongue, jaw, diaphragm, pelvis, feet) to macro (whole-body singing and movement). Then we’ll dive into learning Kate's expansive and experimental new choir pieces involving:
Multi-voice acappella singing
Vocal games and improvisation
Movement in space
Who is the workshop for:
The workshop is open to everyone, all adult voices (experienced and less so), however you should be comfortable holding a harmony against other voices and keeping rhythm.
More about Kate Smith:
'Kate has a rare ability to create a learning space that feels both musically challenging and very nurturing. I loved the originality of the compositions she brought to the group"
Kate released an EP Songs from the Body in 2023, with live performances in Lisbon (Voz Unbound) and London (Songs from the Body). Her approach to voice is inspired by artists like Meredith Monk, Caroline Shaw, and the Humanophones.
