Vocal Pathways
A Weekend of Singing, Improvisation & Vocal Discovery
June 28–29
Vocal Pathways is a workshop series dedicated to exploring and expanding the expressive power of the human voice. Open to amateur singers of all backgrounds and experience levels, this weekend brings together four exceptional vocal artists – Laura Marti, Mariana Sadovska, Julia Zipprick, and Tamara Lukasheva – each offering a unique gateway into the world of vocal improvisation, from jazz and pop to traditional songs and somatic practices.
You’re invited to take part in one or all of the workshops, enjoy shared meals, and join in a joyful collective jam session on Sunday evening. Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your vocal practice, Vocal Pathways is a space to grow, experiment, and connect.
PROGRAM
Saturday, June 28
10:00–12:30
Workshop 1: FIND YOUR FREE & STRONG VOICE!
with Laura Marti
This dynamic session is for anyone who wants to sing, strengthen their voice, or play with improvisation in pop, soul, and jazz. You’ll explore:
Vocal warm-ups, breathwork, and body activation
Vocal agility (runs, riffs, intonation)
Learning and improvising on a song theme
Bring your curiosity and let your voice surprise you!
12:30–14:00
🍲 Shared Lunch
14:00–16:30
Workshop 2: Freedom of Traditional Singing
with Mariana Sadovska
Mariana teaches the powerful vocal technique of the so-called 'white voice' – an open, direct sound that originates from the Ukrainian tradition and is also used in contemporary vocal contexts – open, direct, and physical.
In her work, she combines voice with movement, gesture, rhythm, and breathing. You will learn traditional songs (e.g., wedding songs, lullabies, healing chants) – embedded in their social, ritualistic and everyday contexts.
Sunday, June 29
10:00–12:30
Workshop 3: Ready to Sing?!!
with Julia Zipprick
Discover how to unite intuition, body knowledge, and vocal technique. Often seen as opposites, Julia shows how trained and authentic singing can co-exist. With tools from CVT, stage training, and neuroscience, you’ll learn to trust your body’s wisdom and unlock a more confident voice.
12:30–14:00
🍲 Shared Lunch

Workshop 4: Free Improvisation for the Voice
with Tamara Lukasheva
Let go of perfection and welcome the unexpected. This playful session is about vocal exploration through curiosity and imagination. No experience is necessary – just the willingness to silence your inner critic and let your voice lead the way.
17:00–18:30
🎵 Collective Jam Session
All participants come together for a joyful, informal closing jam. No pressure – just pure vocal play and connection.
