WORKSHOPS
“A word or a phrase or a sentence is like a pebble that, when thrown into the pool of the body-mind, sets up ripples that disturb the waters. The waters? Physical, sensory, sensual, and emotional energies.” Kristin Linklater – Freeing the Natural Voice

“The actor must crave insecurity, the unknown, the uncharted boundaries of imagination, because traveling along that edge leads to the promised land of creativity.” - Kristin Linklater
How would you communicate differently if you were able to finally quiet that inner critic? Overcome your fear of judgment? Dissipate that cloud of anxious thinking? Speaking up and sharing your ideas can feel so challenging when fight-or-flight has hijacked the body.
This 2-day workshop is designed to help you befriend The Fear and reconnect with your authentic self so that you may confidently embrace spontaneous moments and speak from a place of inspiration and clarity.
You’ll begin with a brief physical and vocal warm-up to prepare you for a curated progression of ensemble games and exercises. These activities will enliven your body, allow you to get fully present with others, and foster a playful and imaginative relationship with language. You’ll tap into the liberating and highly creative "state of Yes.”
Whether you're a performer, writer, teacher, or simply eager to explore, this workshop welcomes adult participants of all levels with no prior experience necessary. Join us in a supportive space where you can reconnect with the boundlessness and vitality of your unique self-expression.
We look forward to welcoming you in October to a weekend filled with connection and spontaneity. Let your impulses soar and your creativity flourish in this unique and empowering workshop.

THIS WORKSHOP IS FULL!
The Advanced Voice Workshop is tailored for performers and speakers already familiar with the Linklater Voice Progression who wish to explore its complexities in greater depth. It is also ideal for those who teach voice at the university level or those who are training to teach voice.
In this workshop we’ll explore the full progression of exercises developed by Kristin Linklater - with particular focus on the later stages. After going into the details of each exercise, we’ll look at the reasoning and purpose in how each section builds upon the one before and prepares the way ahead. Our goal is to help you unlock and develop your unique natural voice, connecting it to your inner life in a rich, authentic, and meaningful way, while enhancing your vocal range, strength, and versatility to meet the demands of your text.
After exercising the full spectrum of your voice, you will play with the elements that contribute to a more imaginative and tactile experience of language that is embodied in vowels and consonants. You will then translate these discoveries into a spoken text of your choice.
