AWAKENING THE BODY
a unique and exciting collaboration with Regina Crowley
September 11th 10am -4.30pm One Day W/S
Costs: €150
This workshop is a collaboration with Regina Crowley who is a founder member of Gaitkrash Theatre Company and a Designated Linklater Voice Teacher. She has led workshops both nationally and internationally.
The Linklater approach incorporates a series of exercises that aim to free, develop and strengthen the voice as a human instrument, developing resonance, clarity, and responsiveness to impulse and emotion.
This will be an experiential day of feeling both tension and relaxation but more than that, “letting go”. Regina will bring her expertise in body and voice supported by decades of training and teaching in the arts. Valerie brings her long experience of teaching people to calm their nervous system within a trauma informed context. Together Valerie and Regina will guide you in exploring what feelings and sensations you can connect with in your body through a series of special practices designed to gently bring you into a more embodied sense of yourself while at the same time supporting you in how you can maintain your sense of calm and balance.
This will be an empowering workshop where you will find some courage to “feel” your body with constant guidance in maintaining contact with your self-calming resources. You will combine the dance of regulation (calming the nervous system) with awakening and exploring your body’s internal sensations. Using a series of body awareness practices and the vibrations of voice through bone and tissue, we will awaken the embodied self. During these explorations you will be supported and guided in using your resources to calm your nervous system.
This workshop is suitable for
Anyone who has undertaken one of Valerie’s Programmes.
