  • Listen Carefully
    1 Listen Carefully Ellen Foyn Bruun1 Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU, Drama and Theatre Studies Abstract Voice and sounding is an integrated element in dramatherapy, as in acting and life in general. In this article I reflect on voicework that focuses on the intimate relationship between breathing, sounding and an embodied sense of self. The notion of listen carefully emphasises the receptive aspect of arts practice and introversion as a foundation for authentic and healthy expression. I address ‘the presence of absence’ and our ability to listen with awareness to what is implicit and not yet made conscious. I have been inspired by feminist philosopher Adriana Cavarero who proposes a philosophy of voice that challenges logo-centric Western philosophical thinking. Her work underpins the relationship between voice and identity. I shall draw from my experience of three different approaches that integrate vocal somatic exploration and a holistic approach to life and health. These are the legacy of Roy Hart and Alfred Wolfsohn, Movement with touch and sound (Sesame), and Fitzmaurice Voicework®. This article caters for a broad professional community that is interested in the field of voice in drama and theatre practice for educational and therapeutic purposes. Key words: dramatherapy, voicework, healthy self-regulation, philosophy of voice, Roy Hart and Alfred Wolfsohn, Sesame approach, Fitzmaurice voicework® Introduction Each individual has their unique way of breathing which for most people enables sounding. As dramatherapists we relate to body, breathing and voice in many ways. This article will present how voicework has become a core field of interest for me as a drama practitioner, teacher, therapist and researcher.

    A 1940 self-portrait of Salomon (1917-1943), whose autobiographical work “Life? or Theatre?” is an early example of the graphic novel. Courtesy the Jewish Historical Museum © Charlotte Salomon Foundation n February, 1943, eight months before she was murdered in Auschwitz, the I German painter Charlotte Salomon killed her grandfather. Salomon’s grandparents, like many Jews, had !ed Germany in the mid-nineteen-thirties, with a stash of “morphine, opium, and Veronal” to use “when their money ran out.” But Salomon’s crime that morning was not a mercy killing to save the old man from the Nazis; this was entirely personal. It was Herr Doktor Lüdwig Grünwald, not “Herr Hitler,” who, Salomon wrote, “symbolized for me the people I had to resist.” And resist she did. She documented the event in real time, in a thirty-"ve-page letter, most of which has only recently come to light. “I knew where the poison was,” Salomon wrote. “It is acting as I write. Perhaps he is already dead now. Forgive me.” Salomon also describes how she drew a portrait of her grandfather as he expired in front of her, from the “Veronal omelette” she had cooked for him. The ink drawing of a distinguished, wizened man—his head slumped inside the collar of his bathrobe, his eyes closed, his mouth a thin slit nesting inside his voluminous beard—survives. Salomon’s letter is addressed, repeatedly, to her “beloved” Alfred Wolfsohn, for whom she created her work. He never received the missive. Nineteen pages of Salomon’s “confession,” as she called it, were concealed by her family for more than sixty years, the murder excised.

Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

  • Why Do Singers Sing in the Way They
    Why do singers sing in the way they do? Why, for example, is western classical singing so different from pop singing? How is it that Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe could sing together? These are the kinds of questions which John Potter, a singer of international repute and himself the master of many styles, poses in this fascinating book, which is effectively a history of singing style. He finds the reasons to be primarily ideological rather than specifically musical. His book identifies particular historical 'moments of change' in singing technique and style, and relates these to a three-stage theory of style based on the relationship of singing to text. There is a substantial section on meaning in singing, and a discussion of how the transmission of meaning is enabled or inhibited by different varieties of style or technique.

  • HOW BODY IMAGE INFLUENCES VOCAL PERFORMANCE in COLLEGIATE WOMEN SINGERS by Kirsten Shippert Brown Disser
    MY BODY, MY INSTRUMENT: HOW BODY IMAGE INFLUENCES VOCAL PERFORMANCE IN COLLEGIATE WOMEN SINGERS by Kirsten Shippert Brown Dissertation Committee: Professor Randall Everett Allsup, Sponsor Professor Jeanne Goffi-Fynn Approved by the Committee on the Degree of Doctor of Education Date: May 19, 2021 Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education in Teachers College, Columbia University 2021 ABSTRACT This dissertation is about the influence of body image on classical vocal performance in collegiate women singers. Those trained in classical singing are familiar with the phrase, “your body is your instrument.” A focus on the physical body is apparent in the vocal pedagogical literature, as is attention to singers’ mental and emotional states. But the intersection of emotions and the body—how one thinks and feels about their body, or body image—is largely absent from the vocal pedagogical literature. As voice teachers continue to necessarily address their students’ instruments (bodies), the field has not adequately considered how each singer’s relationship with their instrument (their body) might affect them, as singers and as people. This initial foray sought answers to just two of the myriad unanswered questions surrounding this topic: Does a singer’s body image influence her singing? If so, when and how? It employed a feminist methodological framework that would provide for consciousness-raising as both a method and aim of the study. Four collegiate women singers served as co-researchers, and data collection took place in three parts: a focus group, audio diaries, and interviews. The focus group was specifically geared towards consciousness-raising in order to provide co-researchers with the awareness necessary for examining their body image.

The Beginning ‘With these battlefield voices, there was no limitation of range, their voices expressed and screamed terror and agony through every range.’ (Wolfsohn: Braggins: Harrow Times book reviews 10th May 2012) These are the words of Alfred Wolfsohn, describing in writing his experience as a young man, of listening to his fellow soldiers dying in the battlefields of the First World War. A survivor of the war but these sounds hunted him as well as his traumatic experience and he lost his singing voice. This experience led him into exploration of the voice in a totally new way. A life changer for many of his students and a pioneer of the exploration of the phenomenal of the human voice and its expression. The stories of Wolfsohn and his followers Roy Hart and my work with Roy’s follower Nadine George are the inspiration for my interest in exploring the possibilities of the voice as a creative tool in devising theatre. ! When I started my research for theatre groups that were using the voice in a specific way devising theatre I came across names as The Roy Hart Theatre, Grotowski Institute, Odin Teater, Song of the Goat, Guy Dartnell, TeatrZar, and The Pan Theatre Paris, to name some.
