What happens when we embrace non-dominant modes of communicating?
All too often only certain ways of speaking are privileged. This workshop looks to help develop collaborative methods that challenge power dynamics in our society. we are especially interested in reframing sexist narratives around women and non-binary people’s voices. Situated in Otto Wagner’s former clinic this site-specific work will draw connections between problematic histories and traces of the past in the present through experimental musical improvisation, writing, scoring and vocal work.
The hysteric is a gendered figure that has long been dismissed, or worse, sent to the asylum (Showalter). Jacques Lacan called hysterics ‘truthtellers’, people who were not satisfied by the restrains society placed on them. Together we will present a new ending that allows ‘her’ to tell ‘her’ story, drawing on auto-theory and critical fabulations as methodologies (Lauren Fournier, Saidiya Hartman). This work takes a non-binary, queer and trans inclusive approach to gender and welcomes students from all disciplines to join us (Preciado, Bersani, Butler).
During exercises and workshopping students will collaborate by bringing their subject specialism into direct contact with others. For example, music students and composers might work with dancers to consider how the voice, the body and the use of visual scores, loops, gestures and notation can create a vibrant and experimental new artwork which will then be filmed and used to take the work into the public sphere through installations and film screenings which we will discuss together.
