SOSPIRATION - Breathing for Life (Breathing Exercises for Strength and Relaxation)

Gary Madison, presenter
Participants in this workshop will explore use of the singer's breath in a serious of exercises, both vocal and non-vocal, designed to increase capacity, relaxation, and an awareness of the musculature used for effective breathing technique. Sospir is the Italian word for "sigh". Mr. Madison has taught vocal technique and breath support for singers for many years, but it wasn't until he began to use breathing techniques as a form of pain management for cancer patients that he dubbed his methods, "Sospiration - Breathing for Life." The workshop is fun, relaxing and exhilarating at the same time, and beneficial to singers as well as "silent" partners. Some of the exercises are done lying on the floor, please dress accordingly.
