The "Voice": Speaking Through Sounds and Stories
Kyle Pratt, Rhea Bhalla
Saturday 1:15PM - 2:15PM EDT
Children/YouthLaurier
Humans use their “voice” to communicate with others, but did you know that using our “voice” might not include speaking at all? Instead, it touches on the way we express our ideas, whether that be through speech, song, sound, or others. Join us for this engaging workshop as we discuss the otherwise unambiguous “voice” and highlight how good communication can occur in a variety of ways, whether one chooses to speak or not! This workshop includes doing charades, tongue twisters and sounds, and creating puppets to tell their story from Daniele Rossi’s “Let’s Draw Comics!” workshop.
