‘The voice is the actor’s most sensitive instrument, much more sensitive than the body’. VoiceLAB is a laboratory of the voice. Inspired by the tradition of closed theatre studios, including Grotowski’s Laboratory Theatre, which focused on exploring the complexity of the actor’s art, VoiceLAB offers in-depth laboratory work zooming in on its most personal, intimate and unique element. The laboratory approach allows participants to delve deep into the essence of their own voices, not stopping at the surface that is usually defined by goals resulting from the need to present material to the public. By conducting in-depth work with the voice, you can gain a better understanding and control of this instrument. The work allows for an unhurried in-depth process of exploring your voice, its anatomy and psychology. It makes it possible to discover its full potential.
During this session the body will be stimulated by a sequence of precise sound frequencies influencing the functions of different body organs.

The research and educational series Performer/Warrior concludes the research that I conducted in 2022 as part of the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage scholarship called ACTOR-WARRIOR: A Research and Education Project. As part of it I will want to share the results of my research and, together with the participants, ask myself new questions and look for new challenges. The space of exploration between the path of the Performer, especially in the perspective set by Jerzy Grotowski in his text Performer, and the practice of aikido, which in my opinion is unique among all martial arts, offers an enormously inspiring field for research on the essence of action and the actor himself/herself.
