Produktbeschreibung

Somatic Voices in Performance Research and Beyond brings together a community of international practitioner-researchers who explore voice through soma or soma through voice. Somatic methodologies offer research processes within a new area of vocal, somatic and performance praxis. Voice work and theoretical ideas emerge from dance, acting and performance training while they also move beyond commonly recognized somatics and performance processes. From philosophies and pedagogies to ethnic-racial and queer studies, this collection advances embodied aspects of voices, the multidisciplinary potentialities of somatic studies, vocal diversity and inclusion, somatic modes of sounding, listening and writing voice.

Methodologies that can be found in this collection draw on:
eastern traditionsbody psychotherapy-somatic psychologyAlexander Technique, Feldenkrais MethodAuthentic Movement, Body-Mind Centering, Continuum Movement, Integrative Bodywork and Movement TherapyFitzmaurice Voicework, Linklater Technique, Roy Hart Methodpost-Stanislavski and post-Grotowski actor-training traditionssomaesthetics
The volume also includes contributions by the founders of:

Shin Somatics, Body and Earth, Voice Movement IntegrationSOMart, Somatic Acting Process
This book is a polyphonic and multimodal compilation of experiential invitations to each reader's own somatic voice. It culminates with the "voices" of contributing participants to a praxical symposium at East 15 Acting School in London (July 19-20, 2019). It fills a significant gap for scholars in the fields of voice studies, theatre studies, somatic studies, artistic research and pedagogy. It is also a vital read for graduate students, doctoral and postdoctoral researchers.

Rezensionen

"Traditional voice and somatic boundaries are challenged in this diverse and inclusive collection of interdisciplinary essays edited by Christina Kapadocha. As a collection, it focuses on voice research explored through performance and practice with a few chapters guiding broader pedagogical concerns. This collection, embracing both theory and praxis from an academic perspective, will likely be of interest to graduate students, researchers, teachers, philosophers, and anyone seeking to explore established and emerging somatic methodologies integrating voice." -Michele Capalbo, Voice and Speech Review
