"Opera soloist, teacher of lyric art at the conservatoire, artistic director and choir conductor, I wanted to develop the energy techniques I studied with masters from every continent, along the path of this 'total art' that also includes theatre, physical expression, and the 'cosmic' harmony of Music and of Being.

Aware that energy holds a wonderful regenerative power that harmonises the self through breath, body and voice, I created Qi Canto to share these benefits." — Loraine Sauvage

The practices

Six ways into the voice

Intuitive singing

Back-to-back vibratory exchange and sharing.

Regenerative singing

Union of breath and voice, coloring the timbre.

Sound yoga

Setting the chakras and "kundalini" into vibration.

Spontaneous, choreographed vocalisation

A dance of sound, body, and spirit.

Circle of voices in motion

A rotation of sound, breath, and awareness.

Opening of voices

Stimulating massage, practiced in pairs.

These practices give rise to a liberated, liberating artistic creation — sometimes accompanied by piano or another instrument — that can grow into a full performance of total art.
