ART AS THERAPY

Slowly slowly is dying

The one who doesn't move

The one who doesn't read

The one who doesn't listen to music

The one who doesn't t find the beauty in himself

[     Pablo Neruda      ]

Slowly slowly is growing

The one who opens a door

To the mysteries of the voices in himself

 

It seems our voice is familiar to us. We use it in speaking, singing, as a means of expressing feelings. Do we really know our voice?  All the diverse of infinite possibilities that are in it? We got out to the world in a free singing without blockings. Create a communicational language built only on the music of the senses and feelings. When a door opens up to a verbal language, doors are shut to parts of the voices that are a valuable and big part of ourselves is left without voices and expression.

​

In a therapeutic world with voice and movement we can open doors that were closed and rediscover the sounds that do not exist in the verbal language, but exist in early phases and without cultural conditioning.  We can go back to hidden personality parts, to hidden passions -and give them a renewed voice and validity.

​

What is hidden behind the door? What will we meet when we open a door to the various resonance spaces in our bodies? The doors to the various volume strengths, to the different colors and shades?

​

In the workshop we will meet the voice ingredients and the doors that enable meeting them.  We'll experience the voice as a door to the emotional spiritual world, as a communication channel, as an expression to presence. We will meet in ourselves surprising and moving voices: voices from childhood, voices from nature ant the world of animals, voices that express feelings and senses, voices without words and voices that give a new emotional significance to words. We will work through voice, movement, breathing, listening, touch and imagination individually and collectively. We' ll meet ourselves in new and moving ways.
