WORKSHOPS - PERFORMANCES - PRESENTATIONS – DISCUSSIONGiving Voice attracts some of the world’s finest performers and voice teachers in an innovative celebration of the voice in performance. Join us for an uplifting compendium of voice workshops, performances talks, seminars and lecture-demonstrations reflecting voices from Asia, the Americas, the Middle East, Wales and Europe and meet with fellow voice enthusiasts and artists from around the world. “For me, ‘Giving Voice’ sounds always a note of renewal of hope and expansion and springing ideas. I burn my candle both ends and in the middle and am re-ignited…That extraordinary dissolving of barriers and triggering of joy that distinguishes Giving Voice from any other workshop gathering that I know. The personal input that you all make, the personal investment, pays off one hundred percent in the humanity of the experience...You have a genius by now for finding the right people and bringing them together in the same place so that spontaneous combustion of ideas and creativity explode.” Kristin Linklater, Author of Freeing the Natural Voice Comments on Giving Voice 2006 - “It is a challenge to put into words the joyous wonder of a week at Wales “giving voice” “Each time I attend I am impressed with the quality of the presentations, workshops, and performances. This festival is by far one of the best offered internationally. The work that you do is cutting edge and draws some of the best practitioners and scholars from all over the world. I do not find at other conferences and festivals the same level of discourse and experimentation, the wide range of work and body of knowledge. Thank you!” Giving Voice 10 Workshop leaders include: Christian Wolz (Germany) , Kristin Linklater (USA) , Roger Smart (USA/UK) , Lin Snelling (Canada) , Michele George (Canada) , Theatre Zar (Poland) , Ashish Sankrityayan (India) , Frankie Armstong (UK) and Janet Rodgers (USA) , Evie Mark and Akinisie Sivuarapik (Canada) and Mahsa and Marjan Vadat (Iran) .
