Open to anyone who has taken Experiencing Accents\, this workshop is designed to further familiarize participants with the identification of habitual configurations and movements of vocal tract muscles within accents and the integration of those habitual configurations and movements into accent work through play\, practice\, and community skill-building. Participants of all experience levels are welcome\, from those seeking to expand their teaching strategies as well as those wanting to deepen their own understanding of how to use posture in accent performance. \nThis course will be online only. All documents and audio materials will be shared through an online platform. All sessions will be recorded and shared with participants. \n\nThe full registration fee is $400 USD. \nPlease note that the Phonetics Intensive is a prerequisite for this workshop. \n\nDeadlines\n\nIn order to plan effectively for these workshops\, it’s important to have a clear sense of the commitment of potential participants. For that reason we ask for a deposit of $100 USD to secure your place in the workshop. This is due six weeks prior to the start of the workshop\, on May 27th\, 2022. The full payment is due three weeks prior to the start of the workshop\, on June 17th\, 2022. If your plans change\, and you are unable to attend\, we will refund any payment less $75 USD if you inform us by June 24th\, 2022. After that date\, however\, no refunds are possible.
