In "The Space Between Voice and Gesture" workshop participants will work on extended vocal techniques, sound, listening, graphic scores and performance, fostering new creative perspectives through interdisciplinary methods.

This is a workshop that engages participants in exploring the intersections between oral and written phenomena in sound, and in experimenting with new interdisciplinary methodologies in vocal performance art. Operating at the intersection of sound, body and visual art, the workshop will focus on the potential of sound to be extended and transformed through the compositional practices of voice, gesture, field recording and drawing. The voice is ephemeral: how can we make the presence of our voice visible? Every vocal expression involves not only the vocal chords and the uvula, but the whole gesticulating body - unique in its individuality and totality.
The voice is our body and our memory; it is the original instrument that can be expanded, transformed or symbolised. The voice can be recorded, making it eternal. When the voice becomes a gesture, it can also emerge as a drawing or a graphic score. What are the relationships and tensions between these different media? The concept of utopia runs through the workshop as an invitation to imagine new creative perspectives, to address issues of otherness and to reflect on personal and collective sonic memory.
