Instructor: Emily Erickson
Prior experience: Not required

Explore the integration of voice and language while deepening your understanding of the creative power of your own voice. This group class is rooted in a combination of Linklater-based exercises, embodied voice work, and speech therapy practices to free and experiment with your most expressive voice both on stage and in daily life. We’ll be targeting connection to breath, full body engagement, healthy onset, and releasing tension through a series of group exercises and individual work each week.
