ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This three-hour workshop is a deep exploration of the voice—its technique, its expressive range, and its connection to the body. Through targeted vocal exercises, resonance work, and movement-based exercises, you’ll learn how to free, strengthen, and refine your voice while integrating it fully with physical presence.
We will combine technical precision with creative exploration, moving from vocal techniques into improvisation and short devising tasks. Working individually and collectively, you’ll investigate how the voice can shape expression, how the body influences sound, and how technique can open new creative possibilities.
Open to all experience levels—from those curious about their voice to seasoned performers—this workshop offers a holistic and energizing approach to the voice, providing tools you can bring into performance, artistic practice, and everyday life.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
A plural Franco-Australian artist, Emmanuelle Zagoria trained in theater at the École Jacques Lecoq, in classical and jazz singing in various Parisian conservatories, in classical percussion in Australia and in musical theatre in several Parisian and Australian schools. She studied free improvisation with Hélène Breschand, Meredith Monk and Joëlle Léandre. She performed lead in New - the improvised musical, the free improvisation trio "Voix La Harpe Trompette", in several original musicals in Paris and sings and writes with Andy Emler, among others.
She writes/composes for artists such as Australian contemporary ensemble Greywing and creates her own shows. To transmit complex subjects in the form of musical theater, she studied political science and created the solo "Vocal Experimentations" in NYC. She was co-author/composer of La Mauvaise Voie, a political musical shown in Paris and Avignon.
Eager to transmit, she taught singing, rhythm and free improvisation in several Parisian conservatories, theater with the Drama Ties company and art and politics at the University of Paris 8.
After living in New York 2011-2013, she just moved back from Paris to continue developing and performing original musicals in an environment that celebrates them. She is very excited to start this new adventure.
Emmanuelle is currently working on a musical drama 'There She Is', a feminist electro-experimental musical solo 'What’s In the Handbag?' and a climate changes - a song cycle for harp, cello, voice and SATIRICAL texts. Emmanuellezagoria.com
