Spletanje: Podaljšan vikend vokalne improvizacije z Guillermom Rozenthulerjem in Jako Škapinom

A two day exploration of spontaneous sound and song:

-Voice and body as instruments that express and hold rhythm, melody, texture, emotions.

-Developing musical and interpersonal skill in service of the collective wellbeing.

-Invented language and the unitive and transformational power of the word.

-Coming together in the here and now as well a recalling - amplifying - honouring our musical and cultural roots.

We invite you on a musical journey from the collective, archetypal intelligence to the self, and from the individual’s essence back to the interrelatedness of the All. This time round, you’re invited to join Anthropos: Songs of Humanity quartet in a rehearsal and participatory performance at the majestic Županova cave. During the workshop, we will be based at Institute Elias 2069, which will give us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in nature and share meals as well as accommodation in a beautiful residency setting.

This offering is for you if:

-you are someone who is already singing with others, who feels fairly confident in singing in front of people, who has started exploring their creativity but wants more tools and confidence, more skills for interacting.

-you want to discover/uncover your voice and musicality while improvising in the company of others, have tried something similar before but had a bad experience or you have been too afraid to try.

The workshop will be bilingual, led in English and Slovenian, with any of Guillermo’s instructions translated by Jaka as needed.
