Singing Body with Dohee Lee

Held at historic Mountain Home Studio, Kentfield, California

This workshop is part of Friends of Tamalpa ArtCorps, a series of workshops that feature very special guests and whose proceeds benefit ArtCorps, Tamalpa’s social engagement program.

Through breath and rhythm, we tune our body instrument and free our voices to explore sounds, songs, and movement. Explore sound through Dohee Lee’s expansive range of vocal techniques to create a mystical and universal language. This workshop expands participants’ vocabularies with feelings, energies, memories, and stories to create new art.

This daylong workshop is designed for everyone. No previous experience in dance/art needed.

Art materials provided.
