The Embodied Voice — Body, Breath &amp; Sound | 7.2.</h3>Polazimo od temelja: tijela, daha i glasa.Glas nije samo grlo — on je cijelo tijelo. Kroz ovu radionicu istražujemo kako napetosti blokiraju glas, kako dah daje podršku zvuku i kako pronaći slobodan, prirodan i stabilan glas.Radimo na tri ključna elementa:<ul><li>Tijelo: vježbe opuštanja, stretching, grounding</li><li>Dah: tehnike disanja za pjevanje — bez forsiranja</li><li>Glas: rezonanca, improvizacija i otkrivanje prirodnog zvuka</li></ul>Ova radionica postavlja temelj za cijeli ciklus i stvara prostor za glas koji je autentičan i slobodan. <h3>2. Circle Songs — Voice, Rhythm &amp; Group Improvisation | 14.2.</h3>Stvaramo glazbu zajedno, u krugu.Circle Songs je format grupne improvizacije inspiriran radom Bobbyja McFerrina — spontana kolektivna kompozicija u kojoj svi sudjeluju, bez soliranja i bez pritiska.Što radimo:<ul><li>razvijamo slušanje i grupnu svijest</li><li>gradimo glazbene elemente i ritam kroz jednostavne obrasce</li><li>slojevito stvaramo harmonije i teksture</li><li>učimo reagirati, podržati i biti dio kolektiva</li></ul>Improvizacija ovdje postaje igra, a ne strah.
