THE SINGING BODY
Imagine a dance class for your voice.
The body is an instrument, and the voice is in constant conversation with our physical form. Together, we will explore the relationship between movement and sound, cultivating an embodied musicality through vocal exploration, listening, song, and movement.
No prior experience in music or movement is required, only curiosity and a willingness to explore.
Tools: Listening, Vocalization, Sensation, Song, Movement
From Kendra
I am a Hudson Valley musician, educator, and recording artist whose work is rooted in connection: connection to the body, the Earth, and community. I am passionate about encouraging play and curiosity in music making, especially for those who have been made to believe they lack musical talent. You can find me performing throughout the area, as well as collaborating with other local artists.
