Mooove Voice
Loyola Park Fieldhouse

Next Workshop RSVP
Thursday, April 2 from 6-8 PM
Mooove Voice combines classical vocal techniques with fundamental Butoh exercises, exploring the physical sensations of vocal sounds in our bodies and in the space around us. We work up to group improvisational scores by playfully passing sound and movement in simple patterns. No experience necessary, all are welcome!
RSVP now to ensure a spot at the next Mooove Voice. Walk-ins are encouraged as well! If we are at capacity, you will be added to the first spot in the next workshop.
