Singing as Life Practice is a workshop in which you will be guided to find and build a relationship with your own voice; to explore what you have to say and the stories you carry inside. It will be based on singing, sound and polyphony, on movement and group training.
PROCESS: You will explore how your voice is linked to your body, which in turn houses your biography. How does your body block certain flows of expression, and how does your voice reveal the stories you long to tell or that terrify you? Through it, you will discover a greater capacity to listen to others and to yourself; to hold space with strength and without tension; to find and connect with your imagination and allow songs to be not just songs, but stories.
TECHNIQUE: We will work both technically with resonators and with the geometry of the voice. Support it, expand your register and how to imagine the internal space of the body to allow greater ease and fluidity of expression.
SHAPE: In addition to working imaginatively with a story and with ourselves, for this the songs used are specific songs that allow a dramatic space that the singer can fill.

Emma Bonnici is an actress, singer and pedagogue. Her biggest influences have been her years working in Poland with two award-winning Grotowski-based vocal and physical theater companies: Song of Goat Theater and Teatr Zar.
To this we must add extensive vocal work and research that has taken her from studying at the Met Opera House in New York, to meeting authentic traditional music singers in Georgia, Sicily, Ukraine, the Western Isles of Scotland, and returned to New York to work with Jonathan Hart Makwaia, of the Roy Hart tradition.
Emma created Singing as Life Practice as a practice from which she teaches songs, voice and music from a holistic perspective. Singing and voice as an essential part of life and a place for communication, conversation and self-discovery.
