Imagination – bringing voice and song fully alive
Bringing imagination to bear, whether in ‘warmups’ or song interpretation, brings qualities to the voice that ‘paint’ the meaning and mood of a song. Frankie offers some of the exercises and explorations that she has developed to help people bring the voice and songs fully to life.

2024-07-05 10:00 - 12:00 | Zoom

The themes are:
Imagination – bringing voice and song fully alive
ReWilding the Voice
Voices of the Archetypes of Myth

ReWilding the Voice
A chance to play with breath, shakes, hiccups, yodels and slides, and improvise around the sounds we hear in other cultures that allow for more freedom and flexibility in their singing. We use songs and voices from around the world to inspire us to discover different timbres, ornamentation and scales from those we may be most familiar with. This is not about learning songs, rather it involves exploring vocal styles, such as snake lullabies, goat milking songs, mountain hollers, and of course working in the fields. There is no right or wrong, just the joy of exploration.

Fridays: 10am-12 noon – £45 for all three sessions, or £18 each

Voices of the Archetypes of Myth – 12th July 2024

Voices of the Archetypes of Myth
An exciting way to expand vocal colour, range and expressivity. General body-breath-voice preparation leads into specific preparation for the particular Archetype/s to be explored using movement, visualisation, imagination and vocal exploration. Frankie then guides you through a story (the journey) which gives you the opportunity to inhabit the larger-than-life world of the timeless figures of mythology and legend and to discover the vocal qualities that they evoke.

Voicing the Archetypes of Myth
2024-07-17 10:00 - 17:00 | The Gasworks Studio, 27 Narroways Rd,, St. Werburghs, Bristol, BS2 9XB, United Kingdom
This workshop provides an exciting way to expand and liberate vocal colour, range and expressivity. It uses movement, imagination and storytelling to access a wide range of vocal qualities and expression through exploring figures that inhabit the world’s mythology, such as The Huntress, The Trickster, The Child, The Mother and The Crone. These archetypes are not a character or caricature but a particular aspect or quality in all of us.

Voicing the Vision - Master classes
2024-09-12 - 2024-09-14
European Consortium for Arts Therapies Education conference, Gwent, Belgium

Voicing a Vision – Singing truth to power
We are, sadly, living through dark times, so we’re all faced with how to respond individually and collectively. Can we find a voice that feels truthful, that expresses our power and our vulnerability, and that can feel strong in protest and in lament?

Frankie will offer her style of voice-work, a natural style based on traditional and ethnic cultures who sing as naturally as they speak. Her approach engages the whole body and invites us be in touch with the earth.

Singing is one of the most time-honoured forms that give a sense of communion and community and enable us to give heightened expression to archetypal human experiences and emotions. We know that singing generates energy. In this context, we can use it to face the dark, to express our dissent and to voice our vision of a more just world.
