CI body voice. This class invites us to find the vibratory qualities of the voice as 'another limb' or a central channel of the body. We will explore listening, humming and creating vocal sound while maintaining awareness and embodiment of somatic experience and pathways of CI. Building on CI basic forms and awareness of tuning into sensation, weight, momentum, the space of the body, and the room, we will explore together CI with the voice as an integrated part of the body. Leah's teaching style is gentle, welcoming and grounded in curiosity and connection.
Leah Stein is a longtime CI practitioner, dancer, choreographer, educator and collaborator and creates collaborative site-specific performance projects including large choral dance works as well as intimate small-scale movement works. She founded Leah Stein Dance Company (LSDC) in 2001 in Philadelphia where her site-specific dances have been performed nationally and internationally in train garages, open fields, vacant city lots, gardens, burial grounds and numerous historic sites. Leah is a 2018 Pew Fellow and received a MacDowell Fellowship in 2019 supporting her ongoing collaborations with composers, musicians and poets. Leah engaged in a yearlong research project with legendary composer Pauline Oliveros to develop Pauline’s Deep Listening practice with singers and dancers. This research is the foundation of Leah’s current teaching. She is a Deep Listening Certificate holder from the Deep Listening Institute founded by Pauline Oliveros. Her longtime collaborators include Toshi Makihara, Diane Monroe, Josey Foo, Alan Harler among others. LSDC moved into the Art Room Studio in 2017 and has focused on making the resource available through low cost rentals, a year long residency, and Studio Works, an artist-centered opportunity for local artists to experiment and explore new ideas in a supportive and intimate setting with an engaged audience.
