Lena Måndotter, Sweden
Lena Måndotter offers educational and experiential programs in the psychological aspects of voice and singing. The courses give an opportunity to explore the Self through vocal expression, combining various expressive and creative techniques using voice, breath and movement. The focus is on releasing the voice from physical and psychological inhibitions so one can express oneself freely with presence and confidence, in song and in speech.
The courses are for anyone who is interested in connecting to and reclaiming the authentic voice. Participants come from many different professional fields and have all kinds of backgrounds. For participation please note that there is no professional song or voice training required. A certain knowledge of psychology can be useful since we can not work on our voices without contacting our emotions.
The programs are of varying lengths and include the following themes:
- an introduction to song therapy from a Jungian perspective
- theory and practice of Voice Movement Therapy
- breath, dance and movement exercises to release the voice
- individual voicework and group singing
- an overview of the vocal anatomy
- the connection between soul and body
- the link between psyche and matter
- how to reclaim one's creativity and keep it flowing
- learning the skills of listening from a deeper place
- the power of ritual and the art of performance
- scientific research on vibrational healing
- metaphysical and spiritual aspects of sound
The faculty is grounded in the voice training tradition founded by pioneers like Alfred Wolfsohn, Paul Newham, Jerzy Grotowski and all those who, since ancient times, walked before them. Lena Måndotter is dedicated to continue and expand this tradition and explore the artistic, therapeutic and transpersonal dimensions of song, music and sound.
Please note that Lena Måndotter is working internationally and therefore a course/program can be arranged in your area. For information about Individual voice and song sessions contact Lena.
