The Embodied Voice Lisbon offers a welcoming creative space for voice and movement exploration, all grounded in a gentle and playful relationship to the body.

The first half of the session may feel a bit like a yoga class, mixed with a Feldenkrais session, mixed with conscious dance, all integrated with sounding and singing, leading to a body and voice that feels soft, open and connected. In the second half we play a myriad of games and forms for unlocking our creative voice and honing our musical skills, including creating melodies, understanding musical forms, improving rhythmic vocabulary and precision, exploring invented language or words, and more.

In the process, we also learn to develop inter-personal connections, engage in deep listening, and explore our habits and roles within a collaborative context. Enjoy these unique sessions that will leave you feeling energised, connected, and inspired!

"During the class, I felt I could really embody myself in a natural way. I didn’t feel like I was struggling to adapt to a class or really intense constructs of how my body is supposed to move or how my voice is supposed to sound. I felt incredibly free, but also peaceful at the same time. Thank you!"

“Aqui percebi de forma muito concreta como corpo e voz estão intimamente conectados, como o som se molda e viaja. Descobri vozes que desconhecia e sons que não sabia que me habitavam.”
Sofia
“It has been a wonderful time to sing again, to connect with the body and who I am, and to meet these wonderful people that you gathered here at Piscina. For me it’s a moment to relax and enjoy the sounds and beautiful songs we can produce together, but also something deep, and healing and alive.”
Marta

A word from Kate:

I work with people to understand and experience their voice in connection to their body, using movement, awareness, and improvisation. For me, singing, sounding, or speaking in an embodied way entails addressing the whole system from a phenomenological perspective - exploring our felt experience of body/voice functions, breath, nervous system, co-regulation, creative and imaginative expression, and more. Addressing the mind-body connection invariably brings up a range of interesting learning axes that touch on movement and thought habits, prior conditioning, cultural contexts, inter-relational aspects, and more. Meanwhile, improvisation allows us to unpack and express the mind-body-voice connection in non-linear, creative and insightful ways. I love it!
