Voice Retreat for Actors & Voice Actors
14-21 th of September 2025 - Samos/Greece
Let Go, Relax, Recharge! The private beach invites you to hang out and swim. We will use the private beach also to combine breathing and voice work with the elements: water, wind, sun, and stone. This will help us gain a deeper understanding of how the voice is connected to nature and how language emerged from the landscape. Soak up the warmth of the sun on your face to revitalize both your personal well-being and your artistic spirit. |
Work Space with stunning sea view This work space was crafted with an abundance of love, ensuring that the ambiance of affection will infuse your work, nurturing your artistic growth. The huge windows keep you connected to nature and the vastness of the horizon. This will help you feel the expansion of your chest as your breath drops in and to release tension from your breath, granting your voice newfound freedom. The unbroken connection to nature serves as a constant reminder of the origins of voice and language within the landscape. Experience not only artistic nourishment but also personal rejuvenation here. |
Space for Community To eat together in a community of like-minded people, to share laughter, exchange experiences, and support one another – this is one of the secrets of the Blue Zones, where people joyfully reach the age of 100 and beyond and lead a healthy and happy life. Here, you'll experience thoughtful care, with three Mediterranean, vegetarian meals that not only nourish your body but also complement the awe-inspiring sea view, enhancing your sense of personal well-being. If you should require anything extra, my assistant is at your service, ready to get whatever you need from the nearby village. For a worry-free and fulfilling time. |
Grow without pressure, make unexpected discoveries on how to use your voice! Collaborating with others without the pressure of being liked or succeeding will help you nurture your artistic essence and grow beyond your limits. Simultaneously, you will learn tools and skills, empowering your voice and enhancing your presence. Your handling of language and articulation will become more precise and at the same time more organic. You will work on your outstanding voice by "Bringing language back to appetite-related grunts and groans dealing with life and death issues, with hunger and lust, experienced in the belly and expressed with a roar originated deep in the body.“ (Kristin Linklater). You'll also experiment with how voice and language originated from nature. |
After a lot of input - let your soul dangle in beautiful places During the lunch break or after dinner, there are many beautiful places where you can take a break to process your new experiences. |
