With Guillermo Rozenthuler and Briony Greenhill
Hello dear singers with previous experience in Vocal Improvisation,
This weekend is for you. The aims are to develop everyone’s personal and ensemble practice and to grow as vocal improvisers, through a process of singing together, in-the-moment coaching and sharing.
We are coming alongside each other for the first time (at least, the first time since we co-created the London Vocal Improv Collective in 2011!), hoping to offer a broader and more diverse panorama of the possibilities of vocal improvisation to our expanding community of singers.
Together, we’ll draw from our years of personal and shared experience, introduce new ways in, hold space for new explorations and paths to deepen the practice of the forms learned before.
You will have a chance to sing in many configurations of CVI and receive encouraging feedback and ideas from both of us individually. We want the weekend to be an invitation for everyone to become more rounded, versatile and confident as a vocal improviser.
A time to unwind, nourish, exchange music, joy and energy. A time to share our love for this amazing and transformative artform, singing together in as many ways as possible.
We’ll gather at Embercombe, a gorgeous eco retreat center with two great singing spaces, a pond, a stone circle, and forest. We’ll eat healthy vegetarian food prepared for us by Embercombe’s chefs, and stay in yurts in 2s or 3s.
The Cost
Is at three tiers using the Green Bottle tool for economic justice.

We’re aiming for a group of about 20-25 singers; which we’ll frequently break down into smaller groups to support different constellations of singers.
