*BODY & VOICE OPERA WORKSHOP
Fifty students from the Aix-Marseille University (AMU) have begun a new vocal adventure with the “Body & Voice” Opera Workshop, held every Tuesday night at the Cube — the new cultural space of the AMU — from November 2019 to June 2020. In partnership with the Aix-Marseille University and open to all levels, these vocal workshops are led by the singer Tania Zolty. The fun-filled sessions help teach participants how to project themselves in space, to discover their own voices, and to better express themselves, on stage and in their everyday lives.
