"The voice is poly instrumental - at once a string instrument, a wind instrument, a body instrument and a language instrument - it has this specificity that makes it an instrument and a material with unprecedented possibilities.

Free and collective vocal practice as a power of emancipation and reparation. Once a month, over the course of a weekend, each participant is invited to explore, recognize and fully inhabit his or her voice, allowing a personal song to emerge, free from any aesthetic or formal constraints. 

This laboratory is open to all throughout the year, from beginners to the most experienced. People with different backgrounds and sensibilities take part, coming from France and Europe, and a beautiful energy, open and concentrated, circulates. 

The monthly vocal laboratory proposed by Natacha Muslera, encourages to free oneself, to emancipate oneself vocally. It is a time and a space for intense vocal learning, sharing of tools and techniques, experimental practice and multiple exploration: art of breathing, free and polyphonic improvisation, creation and composition in situ, sensitive and commented listening, care. 

Through collective listening and storytelling, Natacha weaves links across the history of improvised, experimental, oral and contemporary music, sacred and pagan chants, and poetry, to flesh out and nourish everyone's research. It brings to the surface a more minority history of pioneering female musicians and discoverers. 

From this vocal laboratory, a modular vocal ensemble, Voix multiphonique, is created, and site-specific, outdoor concerts take place in different sound ecosystems. Natacha Muslera organizes creative time during the weekend. 

Details:
The vocal laboratory takes place one weekend a month, from 1:30 pm to 7:00 pm, at the GMEM in La Friche Belle de Mai.
Designed and run over two days, we strongly advise you to take part for the whole weekend.
A participation fee is required, please contact the Off-cells association. 

You can come for the first time, and then decide for yourself whether or not you want to come every month.
It's better of course, but it's completely open...
