Period of enrollment of abstracts: 27/07 a 15/09 out of 2023

How to think the voice?

We can think of it as an air movement in the carnal cavity of the deep body. Or as an air passage that generates sound vibrations in the vocal pregas of the human body (and non-human). Or like air that passes through the throat hole to penetrate the ear and find the deep cavities of the other.

How can we think, then, the voice as a relation to the other? Or, following Cavarero, thinker, feminist and scholar of the voice, such as " ... fruity the listening of the 'vibration of a flesh throat'. Viva and Corporea, unique and irreproducible "?     

In the arthystico-academic encounter" Voices of Voice in the Living Arts ", we propose  to carry out an artistic and academic exchange of voice studies in the plan of the performing arts, in their poetic, ethical and political reaches. To do so, the encounter will bring together artists, researchers and professors, so that they can share their formative experiences, of the processes of creation and of the research within the framework of voice in the context of contemporary performative practices in theatre. It will seek, in this manner, to raise thoughts about modes and materials of experimentation and research in voice, which transform our making theatrical, evidenced to its procedural power, in permanent construction and which opens up passages to the vertiginous sensitive movement of being and intervening in the very dynamics of the world and life.

These are the ideas that mobilize our goals and affections for the meeting "Voices of Voice in the Living Arts" to be held at the Higher School of Theatre and Cinema of the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon-ESTC during the days 3 and November 4, 2023.
