Circlesinging
Improvised singing circles, using nothing but our voices, beatbox, and body percussion. This practice allows us to connect to ourselves, our creativity and the present, in a simple playful way.
If you speak French, click here for an interview Radio Rhizome made of me where I explain what CircleSinging is.
Workshops elsewhere
If you want to hire me for a workshop, a retreat, or a CircleSong discovery session, or a collaboration, feel free to contact me.
Possible workshop themes:
- Discover CircleSinging: For any group motivated to sing together, in a friendly circle. Whether your group is just starting out with singing, or has another singing practice, this workshop allows you to train your intuitive musical ear, group cohesion, and to find comfort in improvisation and vocal solos. I will adapt to the group’s level.
- CircleSinging for choirs: If you have a choir and would like to get them to discover CircleSinging, you can offer them this workshop. This improvised and intuitive approach to music can complement the tools you have practiced as a choir.
- Intensive CircleSongs: Dive right in to this magic practice. Learn to follow and guide CircleSongs. We will practice clear gestures, intuitive signs, musical transitions, presence at the service of musical creation, group cohesion, and creation of movement within CircleSongs.
- CircleSongs, imagination, and letting go: Vocal improvisation games to let go of the mind. Enjoy following and guide CircleSongs while having fun and listening to yourself. Imaginary personas, worlds, and languages, at the service of CircleSinging. Sing who you are in this very moment.
In all these workshops, there will be an aspect of presence, meditation and deep listening, which I consider necessary for intuitive authentic singing. Beatbox and body percussion are generally also part of my teaching.
I adapt the teaching to the level and energy of the group. The duration can be of a short workshop, 1 to 3 hours, all the way to a full 5 day retreat.
If you’re hesitating which workshop you would like to propose to your groups, you can call me at +41 76 295 7588 (WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram only).
Private/group lessons
Private lessons are possible too. Depending on your needs, we can work on different aspects of what I teach to groups. The price is the same is you’re alone or with a few friends. That way you can share the price if there are several of you.
