Performance Lab (Seattle, WA) partners with Wandering Aesthetics to offer The
Awakened Voice: Vocal Empowerment through Song, an exciting workshop to
introduce Northeast Ohio performers to the vocal practices developed and
practiced by Artistic Director Zhenya Lavy through 25 years of in-depth
investigation of voice work. Together we will work to expand your essential
instrument and amplify your trust of the body and its responses. With an
emphasis on process over prescription. APL’s methodologies open up a means for
tapping into artistic potentiality and move the participant toward a single
fundamental objective:</span></span></p><p class="BodyA"><span class="None"><i class=""><span style="font-size:10.0pt" class="">Living Impulses shaped by Deliberate Form piloted by

laboratory practice, as well as the individual practices and the Central &
Eastern European artistic heritage of APL’s directors, participants can expect
to work primarily with traditional song to awaken their voices and empower
their capacity to listen, respond, and connect with others by means of the
voice. Searching for the point where the performer transcends technique and
experiences song as a simultaneously living and historied force, participants will
be introduced to:</span></span></p><p class="BodyA"><span class="None"><span style="font-size:10.0pt" class="">•exercises in

Performance Lab is an ensemble-based theatre company founded in Seattle in 2000
by Co-Artistic Directors Joseph and Zhenya Lavy. Working in the artistic
lineage of Central and Eastern European masters such as Meyerhold, Vakhtangov,
and Grotowski, APL has developed Theatre of Polyphony, its aesthetic signature
for ensemble-driven work at the nexus of physical action, song, and text that
transcends popular pressures to common relevancy and pulses with the temporal
force of artistic permanence. Recent work includes Pomegranate & Ash (2015,
On the Boards Open Studio) and Uncle Vanya (2014). Their new original, world
premiere production, Ecce Faustus, opens in February 2016.</span></span></p>
