WORKSHOP: The Singing Soul: Improvisational A Cappella

A Swingin’ Swayin’ Funk Bump Afro Gospel Sacred Soulful Blues Chant  
Jam Feelin’ Hi Mash-up

“Goes to unforeseen destinations of hilarity, weirdness, extraordinary  
harmony, & transcendence.”

The Singing Soul is spontaneous, in-the-moment singing, the unveiling  
of our very uniqueness in melody, harmony and rhythm...our stories, in  
words, and beyond them. It’s for those who are ready to let go of  
"getting it right" and to embrace letting it just happen. Unrehearsed  
singing evokes the genuine and soulful voice. By turns edgy,  
hilarious, challenging, and deeply moving, each moment is an original  
composition that is unrehearsed, precious and irreplaceable. And as  
fate would have it, it's also profoundly fun! There's no wrong notes  
and nothing to memorize, just breathe and sing...ahh. This utterly  
experiential course is a powerful experience of improvised music  
making and of being alive and present. A wide variety of clearly  
outlined structures are offered, for the full group, small groups,  
duets and soloing; each of which generates different experiences and  
outcomes. Sessions are punctuated with pauses to process our learnings  
together. Participants will hone the arts of the improviser: deep  
listening, spontaneous expression, fluid awareness of self and others,  
working with change, and trusting intuition. You'll strengthen your  
abilities as a vocal musician in creating melodies and harmonies,  
laying down vocal percussion grooves and bass lines, and gelling with  
others in creating freewheeling counterpoint that just begs a soloist  
- then becoming that too! Experience new roles and genres in your  
music-making. The synergy of improvisation inspires and empowers as  
singers discover utterly new terrain vocally, musically, and  
expressively.

Statement on „The Singing Soul“ - Performance
The Singing Soul: Improvisational A Cappella is a vehicle for  
authentic expression, creative collaboration, and empowerment.  
Improvisation is an expression, a necessity, a liberation, and a  
homecoming, reminding us that each moment holds a hundred  
possibilities. Participants in The Singing Soul workshop share their  
process and sounds and in doing so, evoke our shared sense of  
humanity, adventure and connectedness. The line between audience and  
performer disappears repeatedly as roles switch and music comes alive  
in everyone present.
