"Thank you for the TLC, the expertise, and the ass-kicking – I can’t think of a better safe space to test the limits of the voice or brain! This is such a special place and I can’t wait to come back and get the full immersive experience."
– Jesse Mashburn - Mezzo-soprano, USA (Student, May 2023)
“No great discovery was ever made without a bold guess.” - Isaac Newton
In performance, energy can be a force of restriction, or it can propel you into discoveries far beyond your comfort zone. In this workshop, we will cultivate ways to harness energy through imaginative play, improvisation, and the breaking of conventional boundaries, with discovery and exploration as our guides.
