Dear Jorge,
This workshop
gathers people form different professions, with different reasons for attendance
and different theatrical and musical experience or background.
This continuing
learning experience, and this specific method has turned out to be a very
effective tool to use when I’m working with my voice. Moreover, in my opinion
it is also a perfect tool used to examine how the body-voice think, react and
work.
Scores, that are being
created from the letters are a solid theatrical method not just for the
professionals. This method not only improves the voice, but also
stimulates the creativity, teaches how to work with a partner, a group, an
environment. In addition, it strengthens the receptivity, and teaches humility.
Despite the fact that
the alphabet letters are designed to suit people different ages and abilities,
the workshop can be challenging. Even though you need to be physically fit for
the workshop, the biggest effort is exercising the weight of what’s here and
now, and being brave enough to ``give yourself a voice``.
This method can also
be used to work with the script to discover its new versions and give the word
an appropriate sound.
For me, the most
important, beneficial and challenging thing that I have started learning during
this particular workshop is hearing and understanding your own voice, that is
being born inside of you.
Jorge Parente is
Zygmunt Molik’s student who inherited his theory and now shares it with others.
He is a wonderful teacher who guides you through the obstacles in order to find
and free your natural voice.
The work during the
workshop is hard, intensive but brings you a lot of pleasure, therefore I feel
proud to recommend it to everyone who wants to perfect their voice and find its
meaning.
