From the practice room to the stage
In a series of 5 workshops, Luca Isolani and Maarten Vandenbemden will explore how to apply structured and unstructured improvisation to daily practice in music. The workshops will be closely intertwined with the other activities at the Volterra Project, and propose the various forms of improvisation as a complementary tool for interpretation, physical freedom in playing and stage presence. Through a combination of exercises in large and small groups, we experience how improvisation can feed our individual musical expression. |

Michèle Swennen: (one group daily lecture)
A musician is an athlete, your body is your first instrument. Based on different somatic techniques, the course will give information on the general structure and function of the skeletal and muscular systems : muscular imbalances, stability and mobility,differences in tension, relaxation and efficiency. Good breathing influences posture and relieves muscle tension. Greater breath control helps to free up musical movement, to play with less stress and more musicality. The course will teach practical applications of information that can be incorporated into a daily practice, It will help you to become more aware of the use of yourself. |
