Viva Voce
We have been conditioned by the world to remain quiet in order to fit in. That need to be accepted is powerful, so we tuck our thoughts and feelings away in distant corners so that no one will hear them, and no one will reject them. But hiding our voice does not protect us; it only leaves us feeling lonely, misunderstood, inadequate and hollow.
The truth is: each of us has a Viva Voce, which means, living voice. What we have to say deserves to be heard, and our own voices may be exactly what we need to discover and empower ourselves.
“We have been socialized to respect fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us.”
– Audra Lorde
In this workshop, we will use the creative process to explore how we have silenced our own voices, and how we can possibly set them free. We will speak ourselves into the world. We will have a Viva Voce.
