The programme ran an intensive Workshop Day at  Conway Hall, London in June 2023.  We had a lot of fun!

NB – further courses will run in conjunction with live events in Harlow and Newcastle.
Please subscribe to our newsletter to receive details of new course dates as soon as they are announced.

The project is designed to challenge and build skills in ensemble singing through body & breath vocal exercises, musicianship, extended voice and strategies for memorizing, practicing and performing. The course is based on repertoire by radical feminist composer Eliza Flower (1803 – 1846) and contemporary women composers working on the Flower Project with EVT The Flower Composers.

Access to the programme is free of charge but requires a high level of personal commitment.  Successful applicants will receive a 1 to 1 Assessment Session followed by 5 ONLINE Development Workshops culminating in an on-site Workshop & Performance Day on January 27th at Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London with electric voice theatre.

We particularly welcome applications from young people who may otherwise have difficulty accessing this kind of tuition for reasons of geography, finance or any form of discrimination. Technical access will be assessed with each individual and we will endeavour to ensure any essential needs are met. The onsite workshop at Conway Hall is wheelchair accessible.

It was almost like belonging to a company during the process, working together as an ensemble and bouncing off each other to accomplish a common goal.

I will continue to use the exercises / ideas taught to me. Every time I sing now, I can’t help but warm up using these practices!

My favourite exercise was when we walked the intervals
