How can we rethink the importance of voice in performance? How can we understand voice simultaneously as music and text, as sound and body, or as both personal and political?
This book explores voice across genres, media and cultures, inviting the reader to reassess established ways of analysing, enjoying and listening to voice. Using a wide range of case studies integrated with critical and philosophical frameworks, it makes audible the multiple ways in which voice contributes to how we perform identities. From opera and musical theatre to live art and immersive audio walks, Konstantinos Thomaidis presents voice as plural, elusive and ripe for reinvention.
Konstantinos Thomaidis is Lecturer in Drama, Theatre and Performance at the University of Exeter, UK. He is the co-founder of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Voice Studies, the Head of Movement for Opera in Space, and he co-convenes the Performer Training working group at TaPRA. He is co-editor of Voice Studies: Critical Approaches to Process, Performance and Experience (Routledge, 2015) and the founding co-editor of the Journal of Interdisciplinary Voice Studies (Intellect, 2016).
