Lucas Tuan Minh Hoang

This workshop offers a physiotherapy-based approach to physical warm-up for singers. Lucas and Maria – both physiotherapists and experienced singers – first met as members of Vocal Line and are now colleagues at the same clinic in Aarhus. They will combine a touch of theory with plenty of hands-on practice to show how posture, breath, and healthy muscle activation can form the foundation for more effortless and expressive singing. Step by step, you’ll be guided through easy practical exercises that you will be able to use right away to achieve better singing stamina, resonance and support. Along the way, you’ll also gain simple insights into why warming up matters – from neurology and muscle activation to breathing mechanics and mindset. Designed for both singers and choir conductors, this workshop will leave you with ready-to-use warm-up exercises. We’ll finish the work shop by bringing body and voice together in song, so you get to feel the difference yourself.

Explore how dynamic yoga and yin yoga can have an impact on our body, breath and mind. Through dynamic movements, long lasting stretches and deep breathing this workshop will focus on mobilizing the ribcage and regulating the autonomic nervous system which both is essential for singing. This workshop will be a yoga session followed by time to reflect, sharing experiences and an opportunity to bring home new perspective on how to work with the body for choir conductors as well as for individual singers. No prior experience is required. Bring a yoga mat and come as you are.
