Voice for Wellbeing Masterclass
Thursday 5 November 2020 10:30am-12pm
Little Cog invites disabled artists to join ESKA to help us celebrate the culmination of our Masterclass programme with something a little bit different. In a world where we are fighting for equality and inclusion, or battling obstacles and barriers, we need to remember to look out for ourselves.
A masterclass 'Voices For Wellbeing' is a chance to explore and look after your voice. ESKA has designed and is leading an experimental workshop which aims to explore breathing and vocalising as a means of connecting back to the soul of singing. Our voices are housed in our bodies and one can't be well without the other...

Each masterclass is for disabled artists and will be accessible but please tell us your access requirements on booking. Please DO NOT book if you are not a disabled person.
