Event details

Free event Keynote speakers: Prof. Martha Feldman (University of Chicago) - ‘Voice Gap Crack Break’ Prof. Steven Rings (University of Chicago) - ‘Speech and/in Song’

 

Recent studies have highlighted the ambiguity and liminality of voices, functioning in-between notions of inside and out, language and sound, embodied and disembodied. Understanding the voice as signifying ‘otherness’, this study day aims to explore ‘Other Voices’ that sound outside of normative spaces. Attending to these voices brings an alternative focus to voice studies, which have largely been concerned with mainstream vocal productions and practices.

 

Papers will be presented in a “masterclass” format, with short responses from members of the study day panel (Prof. Stras, Prof. Rings, Prof. Feldman) as well as time for audience questions.

 

 

  •  ‘Peter Pears as the Closeted ‘Voice’ of Britten’
