Rekindling: Body and Voice Workshop with Walli Höfinger and Teresa Brayshaw
An open to all practical workshop in real time and space for people to rediscover the joy of moving and sounding and singing.
Think of this session as an invitation to give some care and attention to your whole self in the company of others. An opportunity to explore your perception towards your unique voice and body, learn some new skills and rekindle some old ways for being together again.
Facilitated by Walli and Teresa – two specialist movement and voice teachers, who are collaborating between Berlin and Manchester.
