YOU!
Do you breathe? Do you move in the world? Do you talk?
Then this workshop is for you.
Have you ever heard your voice on a recording and wished it sounded differently?
Have you ever wished you felt more confident before you went into an interview or important conversation?
Have you ever wished you could sustain better posture?
Have you ever been talking in a conversation and no one seems to hear you?
When you become aware of some of your habits of breathing, speaking and moving you can change them. When your posture changes, your breathing changes. When your posture and breathing change, your voice changes. When you have options, you have more freedom to be who you want to be. Immersing yourself in a weekend of sensorial exploration can have a profound impact on your habits, your sense or yourself and who you are and what you can accomplish in the world. It can change your mood, your outlook, your dreams. Come explore and find your full potential.
This course will have a blend of Awareness Through Movement lessons and Linklater Technique lessons. No one has to perform anything. It is designed for you to be in your own space of self exploration.

Kristin Linklater says, “If your voice is caught in old, protective tones of justification, well-developed prevarication, false strength, pretended weakness, unreal brightness, breathy defensiveness, these tensions in vocal behavior can be relaxed and you can regain the fullness of your naturally expressive voice with the Linklater Voice Method.”
TEACHERS, CLERGY, PUBLIC SPEAKERS
