L’ECO DEL SILENZIO  
Seminario di Julia Varley, per attori e cantanti

Il corso si concentra sull’unità dell’impulso fisico con l’impulso vocale, del testo con l’azione, del cantato con il parlato, cercando di riconoscere la voce individuale assieme al coro e di arrivare alla generosità che appartiene alla voce regalata allo spazio.
I partecipanti debbono conoscere a memoria un testo (poesia o prosa, ½ pagina circa) e una canzone sul tema "L’Eco del Silenzio".
