Line, Projection & Intention (Online)

Thursday, October 15th, 5:30 – 7:00pm

Jenny Miller, Dr. Alexandra Baybutt

Jenny as a voice specialist and Alexandra as a Laban/Bartenieff practitioner explore how a singer creates line, projects sound, and conveys intention with breath and body-shaping. We will look at the body/mind response to narrative – how do we captivate our audience with the story we want to tell and how do we tell it expressively?

Refresh & Reboot (Online)

Wednesday, Oct 28th, 5:30 – 7:00 pm

Penny Randall Davis, Evelyn Freebury

Explore ways to refresh your existing vocal technique and all it includes: your breath, your body, yourself. Barefoot movement educator Evy Freebury and vocal tutor Penny Randall-Davis come together to offer their practice and experience in finding vitality from within, and resilience in action-exploring stillness, vibrant movement, and vocal exercises.

Vocal Colour (Online)

Wednesday, November 18th , 5:30 – 7:00 pm

Jenny Miller & Evelyn Freebury

Classical singers want to ‘sound beautiful’. This can become conflated with ‘monotonous consistency’. What is vocal colour in classical voice and how can we find more colours to use? Jenny Miller and Evelyn Freebury will explore ways to liberate colour literally from the inside out.

All Things Coloratura (Online)

Wednesday, November 25th, 5:30 – 7:00 pm
