How does having a voice feel from the inside?
Which are the stories that shape one’s vocal embodiment?
What happens, then, when a voice narrates itself?
What is the epistemic benefit of thinking of this narrative less as writing one’s story (auto-bio-graph-y)
and more as listening to oneself voicing the story of their voice (auto-bio-phon-y)?
And how often does a voicer get to disseminate this lived knowledge from a joint theoretical and artistic perspective?
Or, to invite audiences to think about their own voices along the way?
Embarking, aporetically, from questions such as the above, this practice-research explores the performative potentials of the nascent methodology of autobiophony. The interactive solo weaves together DIY intermedia, scholarly research and physiovocal praxis with subtle dramaturgies of audience participation to think about the cultural intra-actions within which vocality emerges. To mark its 10th-year on tour and development (and its new context), the piece will be presented as a mini ‘CB remix’ of sorts.
