Workshop: Embodied Awareness in Singing

Saturday, September 27, 2025

Singers of all abilities are invited to an interactive workshop in which we will explore our voices and bodies as instruments of creative expression and social connection. Using tools from the Alexander technique and other somatic practices, learn how to reduce physical tension, find your natural balance, and free up your breath for greater resonance and clarity. Through gentle movements, experiential anatomy, and hands-on touch, we will explore how singing together can foster joy, peace, and wholeness. Sheet music will be provided.

Hannah Greene is an Alexander Technique Teacher in Training at Boston Conservatory at Berklee, expecting to graduate in fall 2025. She lives in Acton with her family and enjoys singing with Nashoba Valley Choir, hiking, camping, meditation, and supporting social justice causes.

All are welcome to attend! Suggested donation is $10. Registration is requested, using the form below.

ABOUT SONIC LIBERATION PLAYERS:
The Sonic Liberation Players explore new ways of encountering sound. To offer this experience to a broad range of listeners, we play uncommonly heard works and commission new works that investigate the area between “academic/intellectual” and “pop influenced” classical.

The founding members of SLP met and performed together at California Institute of the Arts in the early 2Ks. A decade later, having migrated independently to the East Coast (Boston and New York), they reconnected and began this new musical journey together, launching as SLP in 2016. The CalArts “sound” is varied, yet finds roots in the music of John Cage and Morton Feldman. Likewise, the Sonic Liberation Players approach a prismatic variety of composers and music in search of new languages and adventurous musical possibilities.
