Ecstatic Voice and Lamentation Workshop

with Marya Lowry

May 19th 1-6pm and May 20th 11-5pm

@ Portland Center Stage

$125 to participate


Grounded in solid vocal technique, infused with ethnic singing styles and supported by the “extended” vocal practice of the Roy Hart Theatre, this workshop explores the deep humanity and rich expressiveness of ecstatic voice and ritual lamentation practices within a theatrical context. Ecstatic Voice encompasses and celebrates the vast array of emotional and vocal colors expressed in lamentation and keening practices across the globe –from ancient Greece to the present day. Ecstatic voice and lament invites you to discover your personal voice of exultation, protest, joy, yearning, sorrow, devotion, hope and healing.   Raise your voice and deepen your connection to your self, your passions and your ability to express them artfully.
