The Singing Body: Workshop and Masterclass "The Body is your Instrument ... for Life"
A unique workshop and masterclass elucidating and exploring through direct experience the bio-mechanical and physiological principles which facilitate support and breathing: leading to practical insights into physical and structural influences on technique and performance both in principle and in individual singers.
Ashley Stafford, (singer, teacher, osteopath) has combined over 35 years of professional practical experience as a singer with the principles underpinning 20 years in osteopathic practice to develop courses and workshops aimed at awakening an awareness in each individual of how their body would really like to breath, move and express: to become their Instrument for Life. Alongside an international singing career Ashley was, for more than 20 years a singing professor at the Royal College of Music, London. His workshops and classes contribute to a healing of the often fractured mind-body relationship which disrupts our dynamic energy and prevents us reaching our full creative potential.
