ACCOMPAGNY THE SINGERS<\/h1><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

For 40 years, Haim Isaacs has been drawing on his own artistic research to accompany professionals and beginners in their desire to sing and deepen their musicality.
Whether through individual classes, workshops open to all, professional workshops, or workshops focusing on musical improvisation,<\/strong> Haim adapts his teaching methods to the person in front of him.
He accompanies clowns, storytellers, actors and, above all, singers.<\/strong>
Haim also directs performances where the voice plays an important role.<\/p>\r\n <\/div><\/div>

Workshop: Vocal technique, song interpretation and musical improvisation<\/h1><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Open to all levels<\/strong><\/p>\r\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>

technique<\/h2><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

The body, the whole body, is our instrument, our resonator. Whether it's the diaphragm, the soles of the feet, the soft palate or the spine. It's intimate, it's public, it's a source of joy.<\/p>\r\n <\/div><\/div>

songs<\/h2><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

People have been expressing themselves through song since the dawn of time. I offer a variety of repertoires, depending on what inspires me at the moment, or linked to a participant's wish or project. I also ask each participant to prepare a song of their choice by heart.
A multifaceted approach follows: technique, breathing, timbre, vowels, text interpretation, characters (sometimes zany), variations and improvisation on the structure. All depending on the person and the context.<\/p>\r\n <\/div><\/div>

improvisations<\/h2><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

 How do you create from the moment, without any prior structure? Sound textures, song snippets, text snippets, silence snippets. Read below.

Workshop: Free vocal improvisation<\/h1><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Prior experience in improv is needed<\/strong><\/p>\r\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>

capture the moment<\/h2><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Like an animal sniffing the air, the improviser captures the moment and translates it into music: timbres... volumes... rhythms... melodies... sound textures... noises... real or invented language. An emotional state emerges. A form, a structure, is built.<\/p>\r\n <\/div><\/div>

choose<\/h2><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Improvisation is based on codes, signals and a precise intention. We restrict and optimize materials to make each improvisation specific. We develop sensitivity to the proposals of others: should we merge, complement or contrast musically? Should we take the lead, leave room for deep silence, or perhaps whisper while someone else is at fortissimo?<\/p>\r\n <\/div><\/div>

invent together<\/h2><\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Every day, a different musician playing a different instrument accompanies the singers.<\/strong>
Together, we build a sandcastle: perilous, ephemeral and sublime.<\/p>\r\n <\/div><\/div><\/div>
