Innovated by Vanessa Nowitzky, singdancing is an interdisciplinary technique whereby movement of the body affects vocalization to form melodies. 
 
A Singdancing Company is an ensemble of athletic musicians who provide a model of health and harmony. Nowitzky's work highlights nonverbal communication as a form of interspecies awareness, pointing out the valid sentience of the creatures who are most often overlooked in policy, yet with whom we share this ever-shrinking planet: the animals. Also, humans who do physical labor should be valued as much as those who do the mental labor, so Nowitzky uses a mental art (music) as a strategy to express kinesthetic practice (dance). A Singdancing Company's artistic endeavors have raised awareness for preservation of Ashland's watershed, deer, and old growth trees, and aim to highlight the need to protect biodiversity and our last remaining forests worldwide. 

Singdancing can be enjoyed in an improvisatory way by people who just want to express themselves without words, by voicing the movement of energy through the body. When choreographed, the dance style is breath-based, reminiscent of modern, yoga, ballet, capoeira and world folk styles. The composed music is influenced by Renaissance madrigals and modern choral compositions. The practice of singdancing reveals the authenticity of the inner child to empower the advanced performing artist with integrated expression. Whale Song, Street Deer, and Continual Birdsong are some of our singdances that give voice to animals. Our vision is to manifest heaven on earth for all sentient beings.
