In this experimental choral and voice learnshop developed by singer and music-maker Xenia Rubinos, participants are invited to explore their voice through rituals of collective speaking.

During the first part of the learnshop, Xenia will guide the group through vocal techniques intended to open the individual and collective voice and provide tools to embody sound and connect to their bodies’ vocal resonators. The guided practices will enable participants to connect their voices with the sounds present in their bodies, especially bringing about the release of latent sounds and language that hold memories yet to be vocalized. This learnshop is a space for experimentation without judgment in order to nurture an individual and collective exploration of the voice/sound. In this spirit, Xenia will create a collaborative listening environment incorporating free writing techniques that support everyone’s creative process

In the second part of the learnshop, Xenia will guide and compose a choral ode in collaboration with the participants. Through improvisational and compositional scores, we will expand on the sounds and text developed in the learnshop and throughout the script-writing and rehearsal process for En Parábola, leading to a chorus of voices and sounds that bring together the multiplicity of Puerto Rican migratory experiences.

This learnshop will be held in Spanish and English and is open to all, especially folks of Puerto Rican descent, no prior experience is required. Part of this session will be filmed as part of Natalia’s research phase for En Parábola/Conversations on Tragedy, which will premiere at Amant in January of 2024.

We have a maximum capacity of 20 people. If you would like to attend, email curatorial@amant.org briefly explaining your connection to Puerto Rico and why you would like to participate, please use “Rituals of Speaking with Xenia Rubinos” as email subject.
