Presenting The Hypermobile Voice to EDS Support UK
Dec 13, 2023
I was thrilled to share my research into how Hypermobility affects the breath and voice to finish off 2023. https://www.ehlers-danlos.org/information/voice-breath-and-ehlers-danlos-syndrome/
A gentle comeback
Last December I graduated from Central's Voice MA course.
With my research area focused on "misfitting" in the space as a body with a chronic illness, I knew that unlike my classmates, the course would take a physical toll on me. I'm still starting up again after nearly nine months but the thing about hEDS is....it's always another thing!
Keeping students safe is something I care deeply about, particularly in drama school settings where we are told there is "one way" far too often. Now that drama schools are encouraging more diverse student populations, we must include guidance and support to ensure that the students can access the work once they have been allowed into the room.
I will be offering pedagogical workshops about disability and actor/voice training. If you are interested in a workshop for your school or self or would be interested in collaborating around access for disabled bodyminds in drama schools and the industry, get in touch at imogen@imogenroux.com.
