TWO DAY WORKSHOP
FRIDAY 28 – SATURDAY 29 MARCH
PRESENTED WITH SUPPORT FROM CANADA COUNCIL OF THE ARTS.
Michele George is a singer, dancer, actress and therapeutic voice specialist, who has appeared in such films as Meetings with Remarkable Men and Agnes of God. For over two decades she has specialised in helping men and women reclaim their natural voices, while working with Jungian analyst Marion Woodman in a series of influential workshops.
Creation, Devotion, Emotion, Foundation, Gratitude, Attitude, Beatitude, Completion
An Octave of Inspiration composed of eight notes, let’s call them states of being, as we emerge from infinity. It’s the story we shall work with as each workshop member creates a work to take home - whether a song, a poem, a scene between two or three, maybe a dance with vocal instrumentation - to inspire further exploration, or perhaps to complete a work already in the fire.
Participants should bring – Instrument, text or ideas if essential to ongoing work. Otherwise, bring a wish!
MICHELE GEORGE Is an actor, director, singer, voice specialist and vocal intuitive. She is a founder member of Peter Brook’s International Centre for Theatre Research, based in Paris, where she was an actor for ten years. They travelled the world, in great part researching the universality and the unique differences in the vocal presence of humanity. Michele has continued this work throughout her life, from early days at La Mama in New York, her home base, where she has been privileged to work with some of the finest theatre creator and musicians of these last two centuries. After leaving Brook, she created ReSound, a means of exploring the silenced voice and its need for re-embodiment. As well, ReSound works to deepen each persons acceptance and practical recognition of themselves as storytellers, each in his and her own way, the voice in all its extraordinary potential. She now lives and practises in Toronto and is a widely sought performer, teacher, and keynote speaker at conferences in North America and Europe. 2008 is her fourth participation in Giving Voice, and it continues to be enriching in every aspect of its existence.
