WHAT: Singer/actress, poet and visual artist Nancy Knowles draws on her multiple talents and sense of humor to shine light on students’ many expressive talents. The class focuses on the voice as a reflection of who we are. In the process of getting in touch with our most honest voice we become more flexible, playful, and better able to say what we mean and mean what we say. This process-oriented class is tailored to students’ individual needs and strengths, suitable to all who want to speak or sing with a natural resonance, whether in performance, at work or in daily life. The class is appropriate for performers (any discipline), and for people in any line of work who want to become more aware of their vocal and physical presence.
“Well, I think soul is certainly a feeling that is transmitted in one way or another. There is a transmitter and there is a receiver. Sometimes the transmitter is the artist, and the receiver is the audience, and sometimes it’s vice versa. In those moments of spontaneity, the audience is the transmitter and the artist is the receiver. It’s something that’s very empathetic — and it’s deep. Soul is deep.” —Aretha Franklin
“People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life… I think that what we’re really seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonance within our innermost being and reality, so that we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.” —Joseph Campbell
