Words out of tune

 

Words out of tune. Collective practices of vocal improvisation is an artistic research project conducted within my doctoral studies at the University of Antwerp and Orpheus Instituut.

 

I perform and conduct workshops in a wide range of contexts: from performance festivals to symposia dedicated to artistic research, working with both professional musicians and individuals without musical training, engaging speakers of different languages from a variety of countries. The focus of these sessions is always the exploration of language use in singing, working with texts but also using language in a spontaneous (or “improvised”) manner, experimenting along a continuum between conversation and vocal performance.
