bringing together

Voice Performance
Choreographic Theatre
Roy Hart Voice Teachers Training

A multiple event including

voice classes : from individual lessons in small groups to large choral work
performance & directing laboratories by ‘Roy Hart’ directors
the role of performance in voice teachers training, including: “teaching as performance”
lectures, panel talks and performances

Workshops will address the notion of voice performance in three main areas :
	VOICE & TEACHING – voice performance in what Roy Hart called “the singing lesson”. Coordination: Carol Mendelsohn
	MUSIC - voice performance in the (dis)concerting tradition – from vocal improvisation to singing songs. Coordination: Linda Wise with an accompanying pianist.
	THEATRE - voice performance within a physical and visual theatre setting – especially choreographic theatre. Coordination: Enrique Pardo.
Performances. the importance of performance ‘after’ Roy Hart and in current Roy Hart teaching. The project aims at presenting, like in July 2010, some 12 voice performances.
	All proposals in the spirit of “voice performance” after Roy Hart will be considered. Note: “after” does not necessarily mean “in the manner of” or “following”. “Freeing the voice” was part of the spirit of the times, and permeates today’s artistic expressivity, from rock to opera. We have no excluding orthodoxy in mind.
Shadow The voice as "audible shadow" (Roy Hart). The Symposium aspect of the event will take on the concept and role of shadow in voice training, in voice performance, and more generally in cultural and critical studies. The notion of shadow is proposed as a backdrop theme for performances, and as a critical component both in performance analysis and in voice teacher training.
