This course, offered through the Fitzmaurice Institute, will introduce participants to the fundamental elements of Fitzmaurice Voicework® (FV). Participants will learn physical exercises designed to release muscular tension, free the breath, support the breath, and expand the range of vocal expression in performance.

The workshop will explore both Destructuring ®, the FV process that releases physical tension, frees the breath, and works through the autonomic nervous system to promote a feeling of awareness and connection to self, and Restructuring ®, the FV process that actively engages breath, and connects it to sound and authentic expression using text. We will also explore practical applications of the work through the “focus line” and play.

There will be six sessions on November 8th. 15th, & 22nd and on December 6th, 13th, 20th from 12 to 4pm Eastern Time. More info here.
