VOCALISING THE ARCHIVE. EMBODIMENT, VIBRATIONS, RESONANCE
(MAKING COMMUNITY THROUGH THE VOICE)
 
Workshop involving the body, movement, reading, voicing and collectivity
led by Meris Angioletti
 
There are sounds that come before words, choreographies of muscles, air and bones,
not yet articulations of a milk-tongue (‘languelait’, Hélène Cixous). Sound and
nourishment anchored to the resonance of bodies, liquid reminiscences of refrains,
vocal inflections, echolalia of a nascent language that still reverberate the unstable possibilities of phoné. Through a series of bodily exercises, breathing, resistance, vocal emission and contact, the artist shares an exploration of the vocal as a place of practice
for the uniqueness and extension of each voice, of metamorphosis and reinvention of language. Tuning the voice to the body, mouth and breath represents a musical instrument – emotional aspects of word formation. Phonemes, sounds, vocalisations and words are the material for the reappropriation (incorporation) of slogans (texts), a form of choral, volatile, temporary sound poetry that is realised when each becomes the ear for the voice of the other.
