WORKSHOPS

SEPTEMBER 26 & DECEMBER 5

10 AM - 4 PM

Indigo Grace in Ann Arbor, MI

Tatianah Thunberg and Irene Soléa Antonellis invite you to join their three part workshop series Bringing It Home inspired by their participation in Rhiannon’s All the Way In 2026 year-long vocal improvisation program.   Directed by Rhiannon and facilitated by primary teacher Cara Trezise, with guest artists Manel Lignares, Zahara, and Zuza Gonçalves, this international training is deepening their vocal improvisation practice alongside a devoted cohort of twelve artists.  The All the Way In cohort gathers for an immersive residential week long training in February, June and October with home practice between sessions.  Tatianah and Irene are committed to serving as ambassadors—bringing these musical forms, insights, and embodied discoveries home to their vocal improvisation community in Michigan.  This workshop series offers an introduction into practices from Rhiannon’s body of work known as Vocal River.  ​Expect spacious guidance, playful rigor, and practices you can carry into your own work as singers, improvisers, song leaders, and community weavers. All levels welcome.  Whether you are an experienced improvisational singer or a curious beginner, you will leave feeling more connected to your voice—and to the natural capacity within you to create, express, and make improvisational vocal music with others.    ​​COST FOR EACH WORKSHOP:  Green bottle sliding scale - $85 - $145 Two partial work trade positions available  Two BIPOC partial scholarships available​​​​ Registration Required!

This community has made such a difference in my life. Through song, sharing, and love I have healed in so many ways over the years. The acceptance and love in safe space provides a personal growth opportunity that is not just me - but WE.

M.S. 

What a joyful and embodied experience in song! I was able to be in a supportive, loving, allowing circle with others and share my voice through song. To experience this in such a nurturing and playful circle allowed me to tap into those quiet, shy, uncertain parts of me. There was very little room for the inner critic. What a relief!

PAST EVENTS

Your voice is welcome here.

There is room for your breath, your story, your courage, and your becoming.

When you’re ready, step into the circle.

We’ll meet you in the music.
