Description
Keywords: Embodiment of the voice; relaxation; meditation; joy of playing
„To free the voice is to free the person“ (Kristin Linklater)
Various artistic techniques and methods can be experienced in this course, such as the
School of Uncovering the Voice (Rudolf Steiner/Valborg Werbeck-Svärdström), body percussion (as in the world-famous music of the Brazilian group Barbatuques), contact improvisation, as well as a range of meditation techniques and mantra singing. The aim of this course is to promote the systemic regulation of the body's systems through work with rhythm,
voice production, movement, and meditative practices that increase relaxation, stimulate hormonal regulation, and improve overall mood. Some of these aspects have been
explored through many years of experience teaching refugees from different cultural
backgrounds in Berlin.
Benefits
Systemic regulation of the body's systems through work with rhythm, voice production, movement, and meditative practices that increase relaxation, stimulate hormonal regulation, and improve overall mood.

About the Host
Marcelo Kuna holds a Master of Arts in Cultural History and Theory (Kulturwissenschaft) from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2023), and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication of the Arts of the Body (Comunicação das Artes do Corpo, PUC-SP, Brazil, 2015), having studied with Brazilian contemporary dance pioneers such as Gaby Imparato, Vera Sala, Zélia Monteiro, among others. A classically trained singer, Marcelo became an émigré in 2018, choosing Berlin as a creative home, in order to flee the unrepentant neofascism in Brazil. As a migrant in Europe, the interest has been especially in investigating and researching the fissures between western European modernity and the knowledge of the Epistemologies of the South, often times disregarded by hegemonic scholarship as “unscientific”, and sometimes even as “dangerous”. The artist is currently living and working in Berlin as an occultural scholar, practicing esotericist and performing artist.
