Where the Voice Inhabits...

The seminars of ‘body memory arousal’ refer to the behaviour of the  
human body prior to the conciousness’s or emotion’s entanglement.
They touch upon the domain of Theatre Anthropology, but they connect  
to many types of theatre, dance and various performances, solo or  
group behaviour, when human body is obligated to ‘expose itself’.

The training approach is based on the ability of the human body to  
produce sounds, that means emotions and situations, before the text  
comes, on its own energy power, and without any rational or  
psychological intervention.

The sound inhabites inside our body and not ‘somewhere out there…’
Years of work  with deaf people have proved that with the proper  
guidance we don’t need the ear to hear our inner voice as sound has  
weight, vibration, and colour inside our inner cavities and could heal  
even some type of illness.

Civilization’s blocks, specially in our chest and pelvis,- these i  
personally and with humor, call ‘Froyd and Christianism ’ – usually  
block the body and consequently our breath and voice.

In this first approach training we can hear our voice as we never herd  
it before.

Having for the rest of our lives some special tips, we can relax in a  
few minutes, find our voice and breath, produce sound, and even if we  
are dancers and we are not suppose to talk on stage, our body could  
look different, more stable, more ‘open’,more ‘erotic’ and ready to be  
offered as a gift to the audience.

Some of these tips, greek actors learn, to confront big, open ancient  
theatres, and are obliged to replace the huge masks, ancient actors  
wear to multiply their loudspeaker. In our days that technology  
replaced everything, the emotion that human voice ‘nude’ in space can  
produce is the only irreplaceable sentiment.
