The goal of this workshop is to give the partecipants the possibility to get some experiences with the combination of the fascinating Chinese Qigong-exercises and voice-production in professional speaking and singing and also voice-therapy.

The question will be discussed, which areas of voice education and therapy can be supported by Qigong and the theory of the "Five elements", which ist part of  TCM, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and which results are known up to now.

The model of the "Integrative Voicetherapy and Voice-Function-Circle" (Haupt 2000) gives structural possibilities for effective combination.
