  "description": "## **VOICE DNA: COLLABORATION**\n\n \n\nWhat if your voice could become a portal to play, connection and creative freedom?\n\nVoice DNA is a guided journey into voice, not as performance, but as a way of exploring creativity, presence and connection. It is an invitation to soften the inner critic, awaken your playful instincts, and discover your voice as something alive, expressive and shared.\n\nAcross four monthly sessions,  **Exploration, Collaboration, Transformation and Individuation** , we gradually deepen our relationship with our own voice and with one another. Each workshop explores a different stage of the journey and can be attended on its own, but together they create a rich progression, allowing both the group and each individual to grow over time.\n\nWhether you join us for a single session or the whole journey, you will be warmly welcomed exactly where you are.Your guide throughout the series is Uran Apak, an Istanbul-born, London-based artist, voice facilitator and co-founder of the UK Vocal Improv Festival.\n\n**No previous singing or improvisation experience is needed.**  \n \n\n**Transformation**\n\n**When we feel safe enough to be heard, something begins to change.**\n\nThis session invites you to explore the many colours of your voice and gently expand beyond familiar habits. Through listening, vocal technique, improvisation and creative shapeshifting, we'll discover new possibilities for expression while remaining grounded in presence and connection.\n\n**Transformation doesn't come from becoming someone else, it comes from allowing more of yourself to emerge.**\n\n### **What to expect**\n\nWe'll explore:  \n \n\n- Expanding your vocal range of expression\n- Releasing habits that no longer serve your creativity\n- Discovering new textures, dynamics and qualities in your voice\n- Finding freedom through exploration rather than perfection\n\nThe session includes:  \n \n\n- Deep listening practices\n- Vocal weaving\n- Collaborative vocal improvisation\n- Voice and Movement Journey\n- Experiencing different vocal qualities\n- Loop Station Jam  \n \n\nThis event is part of a four-part series:\n\n- [**Exploration:**](https://dandelion.events/e/a2pa4/) ** ** 25th Oct Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM\n- [**Collaboration: **](https://dandelion.events/e/x05na/ )22nd Nov Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM\n- [**Transformation:**]( https://dandelion.events/e/n6stq/) 13th Dec Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM\n- [**Individuation:**](https://dandelion.events/e/s69hk/) 17th Jan Sunday 3PM-5:30 PM\n\n### Venue\n\nOur venue for this journey will be Music Tree in Islington, London - a holistic music centre filled with natural light, just an 11-minute walk from Highbury and Islington Underground and Overground station.\n\n**Address:** 51 Barnsbury St, London, N1 1TP\n\n**Accessibility:** The main venue is at street level.

He is co-founder of the UK Vocal Improv Collective and part of the team behind the annual UK Vocal Improv Festival, one of the UK’s leading spaces for collaborative, improvised voice practice. Over the past decade, he has facilitated workshops, jams, and performances for hundreds of participants across the UK, creating spaces where voice becomes a tool for connection, play, and transformation.  \n \n\nAlongside his facilitation work, Uran maintains an active artistic practice as a singer, composer, and live performer. His work spans solo releases, interdisciplinary collaborations, and performances at the Vortex Jazz Club, Southbank Centre, Roundhouse, Somerset House and Glastonbury Festival. His approach is shaped not only by music, but by ongoing explorations in movement, visual art, and somatic practices.\n\nAs a facilitator, he creates spaces that feel playful, creatively free and deeply held, blending vocal improvisation and community-based practice to support honest and curious exploration.  \n  \n**WEBSITE:**  [www.uranapak.weebly.com](http://www.uranapak.weebly.com/)  \n**INSTAGRAM:**  [www.instagram.com/uranapak](http://www.instagram.com/uranapak)  \n**SPOTIFY:**  [https://open.spotify.com/artist/17urFPuCg9JZHhQIjLXjQh?si=yQ999-U\\_R6WtAFscbHVWEA](https://open.spotify.com/artist/17urFPuCg9JZHhQIjLXjQh?si=yQ999-U_R6WtAFscbHVWEA)",
