This 5-day intensive workshop is designed to both introduce Fitzmaurice Voicework® Participants will learn the fundamental techniques of Fitzmaurice Voicework®: Destructuring®, to explore a free range of breathing and voice, and Restructuring®, to practice breath management and focused intention.

This workshop allowed me to deeply explore release of tension & patterns of holding that restrict expression of breath, voice and body. I look forward to integrating the principles of this work into my teaching.

The pedagogical process of exploring "Omnish" as a means of "focus[ing] on the physical actions that produce all the sounds of the world’s languages." This work emphasizes principles of DEI by honoring & welcoming all dialects and providing skills to "easily into any accent or vocal characterization that might be required onstage or in film, television or new media."
