Practical Fridays was a workshop series, founded and coordinated by artist Philip Matesic from 2013 until 2019. The series expanded practically on Theory Tuesdays, a nonacademic platform for theoretical discussion. Instead of discussing a theoretical text, participants had a hands-on, collective experience of learning something practical from a non-professional. Each workshop was run by a different person at various locations in Zurich, Switzerland.

During this first Practical Fridays workshop, Julia Schwartz taught the basic physical principles of spoken voice use. Each participant, working on a short poem or aphorism and with Julia coaching him/her, ended up speaking the written work in an understandable, clear form.
