week #1.
vocal technique
Each class begins with powerful breath work and a compassion cultivation meditation. You'll learn a Tantric Buddhist breathing technique called Electric Fire (Tummo). Then we'll deep dive into advanced vocal techniques: yodels, trills, ululations, vibrato, and anatomy. Expect a super playful exploration of tone and cultural stylings.
week #2.
Character Styling + Shapeshifting + glamours
In this class we'll explore various performance and character styles and we'll identify how the various styles serve different social situations. We'll explore the essence of charisma magic and play with drawing attention with presence and emptiness using the multiple charisma modalities. Discover the subtle expression queues of our key archetypes and develop a keen sense of ego glamours.
week #3.
ritual performance and altruism
Develop powerful rituals that transform your stage and song-craft into highly influential performances. Discover compassion magic and the power of interactive pattern violations. Explore altruistic expression and balance shyness! Enroll others into our ritual missions through charisma magic and connective compassion. We'll explore a bit of mandala design, mantra magic, hypnosis techniques and American folk magic.
week #4.
the freak-charmer method
Radically embrace fate. We all have parts of ourself we'd rather not love. We all contend with objectionable realities. We all have desires that are inevitably bound to equally strong, contrasting aversions. We'll bring balance to the contrast by deep diving into our shadows and meeting our freak-show "monsters" with rich, freak-nasty compassion.
week #5.
Channeling + genius + archetype magic
All our work begins to culminate as we dive deeper into our key archetypes, giving them voices and languages all their own. There will be dares! Learn the art of channeling the preposterous profundity of your heart's wisdom. Tap into the heart of your key archetypes and nurture the genius birthed from the farthest outskirts of your soul.
week #6.
Alchemy + amalgamation
Our deep work and techniques are put to the task as we design performances that serve the genius of our hearts. We'll draw on our genius and honor the freakier profundities with performance ritual. The power is in the vulnerability. The power is in our truth. We'll explore various ways to design a public ritual and we'll explore the practical applications of our efforts... because
the world needs our magic, now more than ever.
the world needs our heart-song... our truth.
