Body-Mind Centering® for the Voice Professional
Thursday 11th April 2024, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) is an integrated and embodied approach to movement, the body, and consciousness. Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, it is an experiential study based on the embodiment and application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical and developmental principles, utilising movement, touch, voice and mind.
This workshop will be led by vocal health educator Elissa Weinzimmer, founder of Voice Body Connection and certified Somatic Movement Educator of Body-Mind Centering®. In our time together, we’ll explore two primary pieces of the Body-Mind Centering® approach: developmental movement patterns and the fluid system. Delving into each, we’ll learn tools for re-patterning movement and voice, and exploring ease and flow when sounding. We’ll then extend these explorations to support the integrity of the relationship between voice facilitator and client.
Attendees will leave the workshop with an awareness of how to care for themselves and their students during a teaching session, and also with tools to offer students for continued integration and expansion around embodiment and voicing.

Pedagogic Misconceptions and Their Correction
Ken Bozeman
Things are not always as they seem. Many fairly prevalent conceptions of vocal function and resultant studio directives are either inaccurate in part or in whole, misleading, and therefore in need of correction or at least significant qualification.
