VOCAL WILDS
The Art of Embodied Improvisation
Tatianah Thunberg & Irene Soléa Antonellis are immersed in Rhiannon’s 2026 All the Way In vocal improvisation immersion program, directed by Cara Trezise and Sophia Ribeiro. They begin this life-changing musical journey in February — deepening their vocal improv practice alongside an extraordinary circle of teachers and a small group of singers from around the globe.
They are attending as ambassadors, with the intention of bringing back what they learn to share with their vocal improv community in Michigan. Following each of the three week-long modules, they will offer a Bringing It Home Skill Share workshop to pass along practices, insights, and embodied discoveries.
You are invited to join this circle for one, two or all three workshops held on April 11, September 12 and December 6 from 10-4. Registration is now open for the April workshop.
This first workshop is an invitation to taste the practices they are actively weaving into their artistry: vocal exploration, movement, relational listening, and simple yet potent structures that cultivate courage, presence, and creative flow in vocal improvisation. Expect spacious guidance, playful rigor, and offerings you can carry home into your own practice as singers, improvisers, song leaders, and community weavers. All levels welcome.
Come as you are.
Bring your whole self — shy, bold, and everything in between. Let’s sing what has never been sung before.
You're Invited!
What To Expect
At Vocal Wilds, we believe the voice carries the wisdom of communion, the stories of our lineages, and the wild intelligence of the natural world. We believe singing is our birthright—an embodied, communal practice that reconnects us to ourselves and to each other.
Here, we gather in circle to breathe, listen, express, play, and remember that singing is a practice of presence—a way of remembering ourselves back into connection.
We believe that when people gather to improvise, to sound without a script, something ancient stirs. A field opens. A place where creativity flows freely, bodies soften, and belonging is remembered.
We believe creative practice is medicine, that community is needed for practice to flourish and that singing—raw, imperfect, spontaneous—can inspire us to reimage our wholeness.
This is the practice we’re tending: a place where voices rise not to impress, but to remember. A place where improvisation becomes a pathway home.
Whether you come seeking community, creativity, healing, or the simple joy of sounding in a room of brave hearts, this is a place to soften, to open, and to return to the wild intelligence within.
Join us in boldly reawakening the innate capacity we all carry to co-create spontaneous song.
Whether you’re an experienced improvisational singer or a curious beginner, you’ll leave feeling more connected to your voice—and to your innate capacity to create, express, and play.
