  • 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.

  • 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.

The Beginning 2. The Background 3. Methodology 4. The Voice Workshop 5. $%&!'()&*+&,-& 6. The Results Bibliography Appendice A Nadine George. Appendice B Guy Dartnell ! #! 1. 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.

  • Love, Art Spiegelman's Maus and Orly Yadin's
    Opticon1826, Issue 9, Autumn 2010 MODES OF REPRESENTING THE HOLOCAUST: A DISCUSSION OF THE USE OF ANIMATION IN ART SPIEGELMAN’S MAUS AND ORLY YADIN AND SYLVIE BRINGAS’S SILENCE By Jessica Copley Abstract Since Theodor Adorno’s famous dictum that ‘to write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric’, the issue of whether it is ethical to represent the Holocaust in art, and if so, the means by which it is ethical to do so, has constituted one of the major polemical discourses of our time. Prominent questions such as ‘Who has the right to try and represent the Holocaust?’, ‘How should we represent the Holocaust?’ and ‘How can we address the issue of responsibility in a post-war world?’ have motivated artistic representations and the critics who discuss these representations. In this essay, I aim to consider the success of two works which employ the somewhat controversial format of animation in dealing with aspects of testimony, trauma, language and responsibility. The first, Art Spiegelman’s 1984 comic book strip Maus, anthropomorphised Germans into cats and Jews into mice in order to narrate events experienced by Spiegelman’s father, Vladek, during the war and the postbellum father-son relationship. Although Maus was initially criticised for its use of the comic book format, traditionally viewed as adolescent, it later went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize for its literary success and as such provided a benchmark for the potential of animated formats. The second, Orly Yadin and Sylvie Bringas’s 1998 animated short film Silence, combines two styles of animation and a small amount of archival footage to tell the story of Tana Ross, a child survivor of Theresienstadt (Terezin) who, hidden by her grandmother during the war, escaped Auschwitz.

  • My Life with the Voice
    My Life with the Voice Introduction What I am setting out to do in this essay is to explain something of the history of my work with the voice and Shakespearean text over the last 40 years or more: from my introduction to the teachings of Roy Hart, through the creation of my own technique, to the development of this technique within Europe. I actually began working on the voice and classical text at the age of seven, with my school voice teacher, Miss Mitchell, and at seventeen I went to the Central School of Speech and Drama to train as an actress. (Cicely Berry was my voice teacher there). In 1962, while I was at Central, I was introduced by Paul Silber to a man called Roy Hart, who was doing research work on the human voice. Roy was a white South African who had won a Scholarship to RADA in the 1940s, and had gone on to become a psychologist and an actor. During his time at RADA, Roy had met Alfred Wolfsohn, a singing teacher who had developed his own approach to work on the human voice. Alfred Wolfsohn and Roy Hart Alfred Wolfsohn was a German Jew who, at 18 years old, fought in the First World War. After the war he was broken in body and soul by his experiences, like so many young men at the time. What Wolfsohn remembered most were the cries of the dying soldiers, and he asked himself how could there be such life in the voice of someone who is dying.

  • Managing Performance Stress: Examining the Role of EMDR In
    Managing Performance Stress Examining the role of EMDR in Vocal Training By Hilary Jones The Centre for Voice in Performance at The Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama ‘A Performer suffering from performance anxiety shows the same neurological effects found in those experiencing a traumatic event’ 1 David Grand Introduction The phenomena of what we now term ‘Performance Stress’, is well documented. From actor Paul McGann’s insistence that he will only work in film and television because of his terror on stage to concert pianist Glenn Gould’s self imposed exile from live performance, the often fragile nature of the artistic temperament remains a favourite staple of broad sheet reporting. Organisations such as ISSTIP2 and BAPAM 3, were established in the 1980’s in direct response to the growing awareness of the price being paid by artists in terms of their health and well being. Via workshops, conferences and more recently course components on undergraduate programmes looking specifically at the issues surrounding performance health, much has done much to highlight the less glamorous side of our industry.4 Yet the issue of prevention remains on the agenda. The fact that these organisations have been predicated on issues predominantly surrounding musicians and dancers, raises other questions too. It is not that actors are immune from performance stress, but rather that the theatre culture with it’s battle cry of ‘The Show Must go on’, engenders a stoic acceptance of everything being ‘all right on the night’, when clearly it is not.
