going vocal: poetry in performance

short class in vienna
june 20, 2013

class description:

the aim in this workshop is to experiment with ways our poetry guides us to performance ideas in composition. how do we want to hear ourselves and our poems? we will start with vocalization of selected texts of others in an ensemble experiment, and then create our own pieces (bi or multi-lingual) through a series of “experiments of attention”. we will invite collaboration with one another as writers, as voices, and as musicians. we will consider writing as score or libretto, work with spechstimme , and create a 4^th dimension wall of sound.
