Introduction: 

Through my performances at the 2022 Venice Biennale upon the invitation to its 50th International Theatre Festival and at Theatertreffen at Berliner Festspiele as a Stückemarkt artist, I presented my idiosyncratic art practice, which I create through my voice as and with my body. The art crosses the boundaries amongst music, theatre, and dance through a few elements and through my embodiments. I use and move smoothly between vocal sound-making, non-notated melodies, body movements, spoken words, and objects, connecting stories I write through my personal ethnography, lived experiences, research, and interviews.

In this 1-hour workshop, which will start with a physical warm-up, the participants will be introduced to several exercises of listening, sounds, voices, bodies, and languages, using themes, poetic instructions, memories, and our bodies. While we will communicate with a language, we will think about how to consider unspoken and silence in bodies into arts and in our everyday lives. Deconstructing grammars and reimagining our communal ways of sharing and listening, we will investigate and create several compositions and storytelling, both personally and collectively, focused on inners, recovery, and new languages, over the Zoom workshop.
