Writing courses
The courses aim to develop participants' skills and offer new perspectives on different topics. The main focus of the creative writing courses is on learning the methods of fiction, finding one's own writing voice and working on texts. The courses include exercises, discussions and feedback. The speech and voice use course focuses on voice maintenance, voice formation and strengthening of expression.
Speech and voice use
The basic course in vocal expression and voice use is designed to maintain your voice and strengthen your voice use and expression, suitable for both work and leisure needs. The course will introduce you to the basics of voice use and will include various exercises related to voice formation, articulation and voice color. Experienced theatre director Johanna Torasvirta will teach performance and interaction skills in the course, creating a safe atmosphere where everyone can discover new aspects of themselves.
“The course exceeded my expectations in terms of its diversity. It was something different than what I expected. More like this. I even gave the teacher suggestions for improvement that could further improve the already good format.”
