This July come and join a special edition of Vox Voices in Hastings, open to all adult singers - experience & tentative singers welcome!

Vox Voices: HOWL! Two evening singing workshops - a space to sing, create & find your voice within a playful, supportive group environment, with harmony singing, collective improvisation, movement & breathing exercises - all led by experience creative facilitator Tara Franks

DATES: 10th & 17th July - 8pm - 9.30pm
LOCATION:
West Hill Community Centre
TICKETS:
Supported tickets available. Please book in advance or email to save a workshop place (Participants will get the most out of joining both workshops but places are available for one)


What to expect?

Over the 2 workshops we will learn a collection of part-harmony songs all by ear. We will start every week with group warms ups bringing us into the room together with voice, movement and breath. We will explore some playful vocal improvisation and create our own sound baths.  Everything will be collective & collaborative with activities built up in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable, have fun and get creatively involved.

Who is it for?

Open to all who want to sing (experienced and tentative)...perhaps you use your voice for work and want to feel more connected and able to project? perhaps you sang when you were young and haven't had the chance to since then? maybe you want to find a new creative space for yourself, a space to try something new?  Do you want to connect with a new group of people?  

Singers of all experiences welcome however please note this workshop is focused at adults not children.

Why join?

Tara's ethos and style of facilitating is flexible and responsive to whoever is in the room, she loves working with groups of people fostering a group dynamic and supporting people to be creative, playful and use their voices to the full!  Tara believes everyone can sing and there is no better way to lift your spirits than singing together. Having worked as a creative facilitator for nearly 20 yrs, Tara has a way of making people feel comfortable to take part whatever their expertise, and isn't afraid to challenge groups and push them out if their confort zone in a supportive way. 

 So... if this sounds good to you, come along..
