Moving with the Voice

2.00 points · University catalogue

Moving with the Voice is an interdisciplinary creative exploration using the voice, improvised and created music, dance, and theater. Students will explore extended vocal techniques, gesture, character and musical structures (e.g. hockets, rounds, rhythms, deconstructions) within both a solo and ensemble framework, composing their own soundscapes and creating their own voice/movement/theater work through improvisation, individual assignments and in-class assignments. Certain assignments will be inspired by the work of Meredith Monk or the percussion show Stomp. The course is suitable for students interested in music, dance and theater, and also for those interested in improving their public speaking skills. Open to all levels of experience. A willingness to sing is required
