Alexander’s own quest began as an attempt to solve his vocal issues. Later on he realized that breath\, body and voice were all part of the same organism\, all deeply connected to his thinking. In order to look at voice and breath we need to understand how the body works. The body produces the voice. In this workshop\, Fabio will guide an exploration of ideas and activities that will encourage our bodies to release in order to produce sound and movement with more ease and flow. Whether on stage or on set\, the principles are the same. A freer body will produce a freer sound. In the latter part of each session\, participants will be invited to bring in film or TV sides to work on-camera and explore adjustments in the work. Sessions run weekly\, 10am-1pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nCOVID-19 Safety Policies\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]For this workshop: \n\nAt-home rapid covid test required before each session\nMasks optional\nDaily health screening questionnaire\nLarge studio\nWindows and portable HEPA/equivalent air purifiers\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text] \nAbout Fabio Tavares\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Fabio Tavares (he/him) is a queer Brazilian artist who’s been obsessed with the human body in action from a very young age.
