Living At The Centre Of Your Potential As A Vocalist: Finding Our Place In The Vocal Practice Eco-System

Thursday 15th June 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)

What does it mean to be a vocal practitioner in today’s world?

Join this dynamic workshop, where we will use a range of thinking tools to consider our potential and place in the vocal practice eco-system.

Drawing on ideas from philosophy, psychology, leadership development and research into mental models, this workshop will explore how we perceive ourselves and our practice in the many contexts we work in.

We will reflect on the experience of working alone, of working with groups, of bringing our practice to challenging settings and more.

We know that singing is essential to people, especially during challenging times, and we will consider how we can best anchor our authentic selves in and through our vocal practice, whilst adapting to changing circumstances, spotting potential opportunities, creating meaningful work and helping to develop the field.

As a vocalist or singing teacher/leader, you are always in growth and on the move,  and this session will help you develop your capacity in a whole new light, harnessing the powerful connection between mind, body, spirit, heart and brain.
