Searching for Hana: Exploration for the Vocally Inquisitive
With Kate Hennig

This is a series of ten classes that focuses on training our intuitive
connection with voice for the theatre. It is a physically based approach
that analyses and synthesises the work of the mind, body, and voice in
expression and communication.

This work is aimed at professional actors who have solid voice skills,
and
are looking for input, inspiration, and exploration of the voice's
limitless
potential. It's fun, hard, and stimulating! What more could you ask?
