> THE TUSCANY PROJECT: VOICE & SONG
> 15th ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL INTENSIVE VOICE WORKSHOP IN ITALY
> JUNE 25 - JULY 6, 2007
> www.TuscanyProject.com
>
> The Tuscany Project is an extraordinary, intensive workshop held each
> summer in Italy at the villa Locanda del Gallo, near Perugia.
>
> The project blends group and individual work focusing on each person's
> growing edge in the areas of vocal exploration, movement, song
> interpretation and performance, performing presence, and work on group and
> individual songs (cabaret, musical theater, jazz and gospel).
>
> The program is held in a beautiful 12th century restored villa, with a
> grand swimming pool in the lush countryside of central Italy .
> Participants have come from Australia, New Zealand, many parts of Europe,
> England, Bermuda, Canada, and the USA. Many singers from the USA cabaret
> community have participated.
>
> This will be the 15th year that international participants gather to
> explore their singing in more depth. The project views singing not simply
> as the art of making beautiful sounds on key, but as a disciplined
> expression of our deepest life forces and the discovery of our own
> personal power through the artistry of the human voice. Adult singers of
> all levels are welcome.
