Voice-Movement Skills And The Dimension Of PLAY!
Thursday 2nd February 2023, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)
This workshop explores the voice-movement relationship in breath management, the vocal tract, voice qualities, pitch range, articulation and phrasing (singing and speaking), and extended voice use.
Then participants are invited to “physicalize” a spoken or sung text—playfully allowing the body to lead—before doing a bit of the text in performance mode.
Questions, requests and comments are welcome, and muting is not required!
Please dress comfortably and have floor space available for movement and exercise.

Pop Pedagogy - an Overview
Kim Chandler
Some successful pop stars are celebrating career lengths of over sixty years, having been around since the 1950s when pop music emerged and diversified from jazz, so pop singing has been in existence sufficiently long now that, for teaching purposes, we can observe and analyse what type of approach serves it best.
