In May 2024, Open Heart Arts Theatre hosted a five-day Arrivals Legacy Voice workshop, co-facilitated by Diane Roberts and Gerry Trentham. 

What are the legacies we carry and what must we choose to leave behind?

This workshop invites you into an exploration of your root cultural voice, rhythm, and performance. You will have the opportunity to experience a deeper connection with your unique breath and voice, drawing inspiration from ancestral sources. This five-day journey will foster a tangible awareness of your vocal, physical, and rhythmic potential.

This workshop is for anyone interested in discovering their culturally storied bodies in a dynamic dance between self and other.

This is an opportunity for performers, writers, singers, educators, change leaders, and artists of all disciplines to come together in a collaborative space for cross-cultural exchange and performative story-making, exploring where their ancestral histories meet.
