Workshops & Seminar 2023

Workshop around the topics «Trauma, Voice, Body & Identity» with Melanie Erzuah on November 15th from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m
for (post-)traumatized FLINTA* people with exile and migration stories
Trauma has many faces and one of them is the impact it has on the voice and body. The internalization of Oppression and various forms of violence have a huge impact on voices, on how we express ourselves, how much space we take up with the body. It directly affects our identity.
Melli Erzuah’s workshop addresses the following questions, among others : How can I
connect with my body when I experience injustice and oppression? How can I take care of myself? How can I feel free with my voice?
The workshop is about grounding yourself, feeling, giving yourself permission to take the space for yourself. Thats why we want to offer this workshop as part of our FLINTr*Aum project. It is a subtle and necessary perspective – all too often forgotten – on the impact of trauma on something very intimate and important like voice and identity.
Workshop “Singing for Liberation”
Whether you are an experienced singer, prefer to sing in the shower or are afraid of using your voice, this workshop is for you! With physical, breathing and singing exercises we slowly build security in the body in order to put judgment and perfectionism aside. We focus on the healing and liberating power of singing together. In this way, emotions can be expressed and connections can be built with yourself and others. No prior singing experience is necessary. No person is asked to sing in front of others. The physical exercises are easy and are offered in different variations to suit personal comfort.
Melanie Erzuah is a liberation coach and care consultant for diversity and empowerment choir director, singer and performer. With a passion for singing together, Melli holds spaces for experiences to strengthen the connection between body and mind. Melli works from an intersectional and decolonial motivation and life experience that takes social structures, history and dynamics into account and focuses on the experiences of marginalized people.
