I
attended The Voice Foundation Conference in June, and was honored
to present a workshop, "Voice>Gravity, the Self Coaching
Partner"!
I was invited back for next year, to do another workshop; and
am very inspired by the ideas, expertise, and exchange that
went on in Philly!
There were numerous lecture presentations of new research in
the voice field, and many other workshops by master teachers
including my very first Feldenkrais teacher, (and Chuck Jones'
collaborator), Bob Chapra! I witnessed vocal coach Bonnie Raphael
give the G. Paul Moore Lecture, in which she bravely and gracefully
called us all to drop any turf protection and continue sharing
and evolving our practices. What a rally, and what depth of
content to bear! I will write a more in depth description of
this experience; I am still digesting the information and following-up
with those I met. I am so grateful to this organization, and
joined as a Member. I also joined VASTA, which is another important
and dialogue encouraging forum for voice and speech coaches
with a long history. These are new associations for me, but
they have been around for many years, and have a powerful legacy!
I spent years as a member of the International Association of
Jazz Educators, attending their conferences, before they folded;
I recently travelled for the new Jazz Education Network conference
in St. Louis, which is a Phoenix rising from the loss of IAJE,
but utterly it's "own" entity, and very grassroots
and collegial in intentionality, feel, and action. So there
is a lot of good conferencing and enriching dialogue towards
learning for this coach, on the horizon!
