Text in Dance

Text in Dance We are in a time when performance art and the use of text is often asked for from choreographers. I am not a trained actor but was asked to use my voice in performances from Jan Fabre and William Forsythe. I would like to pass on this knowledge I learned with them as well as my own ideas and excercises I use in my own work. We will do pure vocal excercises, combining text with dance, improvising text that I will provide ( of course short texts from the participants are welcome as well) and have fun with microphones. I would like to open this class to all professional dancers who are interested in experimenting with their voices. For the ones who already have experience and for those who have not. As the week goes along the possibility of presenting short individual works may be possible. The class if for people who are committed to the whole week long process.
