Voice DNA – Collaboration

What if your voice could become a portal to play, connection and creative freedom?

Voice DNA is a guided journey into voice, not as performance, but as a way of exploring creativity, presence and connection. It is an invitation to soften the inner critic, awaken your playful instincts, and discover your voice as something alive, expressive and shared.

Across four monthly sessions, Exploration, Collaboration, Transformation and Individuation, we gradually deepen our relationship with our own voice and with one another. Each workshop explores a different stage of the journey and can be attended on its own, but together they create a rich progression, allowing both the group and each individual to grow over time.

Whether you join us for a single session or the whole journey, you will be warmly welcomed exactly where you are.Your guide throughout the series is Uran Apak, an Istanbul-born, London-based artist, voice facilitator and co-founder of the UK Vocal Improv Festival.

No previous singing or improvisation experience is needed.

Collaboration

Once we begin to trust our own voice, we can begin listening in a new way.

This session explores what happens when voices meet: how we can express ourselves while remaining open, responsive and connected to others. Through collaborative improvisation we'll discover how individual voices can become part of something larger without losing their uniqueness.

Rather than trying to make the "right" music, we'll practise listening, responding and co-creating in the moment.
