Creative Articulation

Most of us have little idea of HOW we speak, or what to do to make speech more muscular. Join Annie Morrison (creator of the "Morrison Bone Prop") for this two hour session on Creative Articulation, a holistic and haptic approach to the touchings and feelings of the articulators in the dance of speech. Seeing articulation as a purely mechanical skill is detrimental to an actor's process: it is crucial to understand what language is doing on a biological level.

It’s your haptic senses that bring relish to spoken language.  Articulation is not elocution or RP, it connects us to the earthiest part of our body, the bones:  we feel speech.  Neuroscientists call the tongue “the royal road to the brain”, it is after all the largest sense organ we have.  This work is experiential - be prepared to ‘have a go’ and experiment.

Annie Morrison has worked for over 40 years as a voice and speech therapist and teacher. She studied voice in performance at the Central School of Speech and Drama and has taught in London drama schools including Rose Bruford, Guildhall School of Music & Drama and the Guildford School of Acting where she was Head of Voice. She teaches at RADA and is a visiting lecturer on several BA & MA Acting courses, as well as the MA Voice Studies course at the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama. She runs workshops on articulation and effective strategies for dysfunctional voice and speech issues for voice coaches and singing teachers in the UK and abroad.
