Creative Workshops For Voice And Improvisation
The workshops offer space for artistic exploration with your own voice. By creating your own and collaborative music in the moment, you can discover new things, explore new musical paths, continue to grow, and develop your creative potential.
Improvisational vocal work fosters your vocal identity and your distinctive expressiveness. Whether you perform alone, in a small group, or in a larger group.
Whether in weekend workshops with vocal improvisation and circle singing or in the in-depth year-long group – here you can expect artistic freedom, a refueling point for new inspiration, various improvisation techniques and playful, lively, humorous interaction.
Discover your vocal and musical creativity in an inspiring atmosphere.
Who are the workshops for?
People with a professional background in singing, acting, music education, music therapy, speech therapy or similar fields.
The annual group is also aimed at singers with experience in vocal improvisation who want to further develop their musical knowledge in a playful way.

Improvisation and circle singing offer you the freedom to rediscover or further develop your voice beyond technical skills. Without sheet music or stylistic guidelines, you can experiment, play, and create music together with others in the moment. Let yourself be inspired by the joy of spontaneous singing and creative collaboration!
