A Holistic System of Voicework inspired by the 5 Elements as described within the Traditional Chinese Philosophical Framework. A multidisciplinary approach which considers the voice (personal identity) through the following lenses: Psychological, Physiological, Social, Emotional and Spiritual. Cultivating balance and harmony through strengthening vocal expression is about exploring each of these Elements individually as well as the benefits of considering them all part of a whole system. This is an accessible learning methodology which can be adapted to suit the needs of the individual regardless of their comprehension of voice, music, creative practice or experience with personal development techniques.
Pyschological
The power of our mind, how we learn and what we think about our voice.
The awareness of our feelings and how we allow these to be communicated.
Physiological
The health, wellbeing and strength of our body instrument.
Social
The relationships we have extending out into the wider community and how these connections shape our expression.
Spiritual
The beliefs we have about life and the Universe, and how these inform our conceptual framework of voice
These interconnected qualities are all important elements to a Holistic Voicework approach. It is possible to explore each area individually in greater detail as well as in parallel to the other elements. The overall aim is to connect with the multifaceted nature of vocal development; honouring all the parts of ourselves which have something to express.
