Mooove Voice combines classical vocal techniques with fundamental Butoh exercises, exploring the physical sensations of vocal sounds in our bodies and in the space around us. We work up to group improvisational scores by playfully passing sound and movement in simple patterns. No experience necessary, all are welcome!
RSVP now to ensure a spot. Walk-ins are encouraged as well; if we are at capacity, you will be placed first for the next event. Mooove Voice will last 90 minutes. As with all Roman Susan events, this event is free at no cost to participants. The movement space at Berger Park is on the third floor of the building, up two flights of stairs. You will need to remove shoes to enter the space. Parking is limited in the area – CTA and ride share encouraged! Please leave feedback in the RSVP form if these factors present any obstacles or concerns that would prevent you from joining us.
Each two hour workshop starts with connecting our focused attention to our breath and bodies. We warm our vocal chords using gentle repetition of constants, vowels, and classic vocal exercises. We use imagery and release techniques from the Butoh (contemporary dance) world to loosen our everyday body and open more playful aspects of ourselves.
Through games and simple improvisational structures, we practice listening to one another, exploring vocal improvisation and playfully passing sound and movement.
Each two hour workshop focuses on vocal technique and physical presence. We begin by warming up to connect with our breath and bodies. Through gentle repetition of vowels, consonants, bubbling, and babbling, we expand our vocal range. Listening to one another, playfully passing sound and movement, we find our unique songs and create compositions together.
There is a lot to discover and share!
No previous experience necessary, all ages and abilities encouraged. There is a stairway at the indoor entrance of the building, approximately fifteen stairs with handrails.

Dance: Asuka J. Riedl, Yumiko Yoshioka Choreography: Yoriko Maeno, Stage design: Mikako Kura
Yumiko Yoshioka. A face with a hand like a claw above it. Her torso in front of a brick wall, in a black tuxedo jacket, bright pink/red lips, her chin and cheekbones jutting up and forward, slightly cross-eyed, she has a look of defiance, a bit smug, with a tight smile.
