The Roaring Breath - Voice as a Pathway for Moving Stuck Energy

What if your voice could move what your words cannot?

This immersive workshop explores the voice as a powerful pathway for releasing stuck energy, awakening vitality, and reconnecting with authentic expression. Drawing on practices from Fitzmaurice Voicework® and Roy Hart Voicework, participants will be guided through breath, body, movement, and sound explorations that gently unlock the natural range of the human voice.

Through guided practices, including nervous system release, resonance work, and imaginative vocal exploration, you will be invited to move beyond habitual patterns of speaking and sounding. Together we will explore whispers, sighs, laughter, cries, growls, and ultimately the roar - the deep, embodied sound that emerges when breath, body, and voice align.

This workshop is not about speaking, singing or performance. It is about listening to the preverbal voice that lives inside the body.

Open to facilitators, performers, breathworkers, speakers and anyone curious about the liberating potential of the human voice.

No previous vocal experience required.

About Dr Sara Matchett:

Dr Sara Matchett is an Associate Professor at UCT’s Centre for Theatre, Dance & Performance Studies. Her interests are in embodied practices that focus on presencing, co-sensing, collaborating, and co-generating as a way of transforming ‘ego-systems’ to ‘ecosystems’. Her practice is premised on the understanding that all living beings, both human and other-than-human, are connected by breath.

The engagement of conscious breathing enables clients to experience the inter and intra-connectedness of all things and enhances a profound understanding of breath and how it can support emotional regulation and self-knowledge.
