Reclaiming Voice Workshop

PRG member and Senior Lecturer Patrick Campbell is working alongside Cosmino Theatre to deliver his Reclaiming Voice Workshop later on this year from 20 – 24 July 2026. He will also perform his performance lecture The Affective Dramaturgy Of The Voice on 19 July 2026.

Rooted in the Wolfsohn-Hart approach to extended voice and the philosophy and principles of the Natural Voice Network, this practical and experiential workshop, Reclaiming Voice, explores the full spectrum of human sound, from pre-verbal sounding to song, through movement, breath, and embodied imagination. We will work with the Vocal Sources, psychosomatic centres along the spine, awakening different vocal timbres and resonances through focused exploration. Participants will engage with creative vocal stimuli, designed to spark authentic vocal expression and free the natural voice.

This workshop invites you to listen inwardly, act authentically, and uncover the sounds and songs that live inside you. Whether you’re a performer, artist, educator, or simply curious, come prepared to move, sound, and sing!

THE AFFECTIVE DRAMATURGY OF THE VOICE is a work demonstration in which Patrick Campbell reflects on his journey through voice. Drawing on his fifteen-year apprenticeship with Margaret Pikes, co-founder of the renowned Roy Hart Theatre (France), Campbell analyses the affective strata that shape his vocal practice and how these layers inform the dramaturgical tactics within his musical work on stage.
