Description
Somatic Voices in Performance Research and Beyond brings together a diverse group of international practitioners who explore the intersection of voice and body. This collection of research and ideas offers a new approach to understanding vocal expression, drawing on various disciplines such as dance, acting, and performance training.
The book delves into the embodied aspects of voices, exploring methodologies that combine Eastern traditions with Western approaches to somatics and performance. It also examines issues of diversity, inclusion, and queer studies, shedding light on the multidisciplinary potentialities of somatic studies.
This polyphonic compilation features contributions from leading practitioners in the field, including the founders of Shin somatics and Body and Earth. The book culminates with a praxical symposium at East 15 Acting School in London, providing a unique insight into the voices of contributing participants.
