By joining the group, the dancers commits to travel together on 5Rhythms maps for 5 consecutive weeks and conclude with a joint one-day workshop. This way of working allows us to progress faster and learn within the same group, deeper bonds are forged between us that have therapeutic effects.

The basis of all meetings is always movement, dance, music wave and the 5Rhythms practice, and we raise awareness of it with various aspects / perspectives / upgrades. This time the meetings will be enriched / upgraded with an element of voice research. Don't panic, we won't sing. But we will explore the voice, the tone, the melody, the frequency of the voice. Do you have a feeling that you don't know how to sing? Welcome.

We will explore how voice and our own melody supports us in dance expression. I want to share with you various techniques that relax the body and voice that help us tune in to our frequency (Flowing); I want to share with you techniques that help us express our heart rhythm (Staccato); I want to share with you techniques that help us relax our vocal cords and sore throat (Chaos); I want to share with you techniques that help us discover the natural sound of the voice that surprises us but it was here from the very beginning - our soul, before they explained to us that we can't sing, that we are not talented enough and that singing is just for those who have an ear for for music (Lyrical); I want to share with you techniques that will support us in the healing frequency of our own voice and breath (Stillness). Meetings are led by Martina, organized and assisted by Anže.

About Martina, about the voice and why I want to offer and combine voice and 5Rhythms

I sing since I know for myself, anytime and anywhere. I also have completed music high school and come from a musical family. I inherited a velvet voice from my mother. My range goes from tenor to soprano. That I can also achieve extremely high tones I discovered on the dance floor. At the voice and movement workshop at Susana Darling Khan, which combined 5Rhythms and voice expression. That changed me. I feel a different potential of the voice. Nevertheless, I continued to sing and i singed in various choirs (choirmasters: You can sing Mateja Zwitter, XXL Tomaž Kozlevčar), but singing songs no longer satisfied me as much as finding my own healing sound, so I gradually gave up singing and performing. On the dance floor, a voice visits me as I dance to the heart space. That’s when the voice takes me into the motion. And I would like to invite you to this space to explore and empower it together.

Statements of the participants of the continuous group Creative with my shadow: “I would like to thank you Anže and Martina for the whole cycle. In my opinion one of the best decisions I have made, was to join. I’ve gotten so much and when I come back from the exchange programme I’ll definitely join again. Really thank you !! I made a bigger breakthrough than in two years of psychoanalysis.« Kristina

»Martina and Anže, thank you for today's workshop, beautiful, heartfelt, original and pure contact with the soul. Thanks for the effort and the painting material, it certainly took a lot of work to prepare this. Thank you for your invaluable knowledge. I'm going to sleep with a full soul.« Barbara

“On 5Rhythms, my mistakes become acceptable to me ... not only because of the rhythms, but also because of the way you lead through the rhythms, Martina, because of the comments, the explanations. So all in all it is a very nice combination. Art accessories are an upgrade. I am grateful for this "5Rhythms family" 😊 Slovenians are lucky to be pampered with weekly rhythms, which is a luxury. I will join in Veduna as soon as I can. My big wish is a women's weekend. See you in January in Kranj. «Špela
