We were working on "vocals" during a Mary Jane rehearsal several week back, and I experienced a very clear moment of...integration. I felt my voice through my physical self in very distinct way - harnessing my whole instrument to move this sound - or this sound harnessing my whole instrument. I was taken by the power I felt - the realization of power from this vocal/physical connection. My voice and body weren't working in tandem - it was something different - I felt it all happening together/ simultaneously. I have always thought of my voice as a thing supported by my body - in partnership with breath...but I've been incorporating voice into my physical routine. Normally I run in silence, I do handstands in silence, I do pushups in silence. This moment of integration is something I'm very curious to continue to investigate this summer and so far I've found vocal engagement in my practice to be a driving agent. The movement of body and voice together - the resonating feeling that happens - the sense of whole hurling through space - the spaces in the body where voice comes from.
