In this workshop-choir-study group we will explore different ways of voicing and listening in collectivity from the flesh. We will delve into various techniques of listening beyond the ears and dialoguing with different voices and resonant spaces. Together, we’ll learn how to support and amplify each other’s voices, exploring what triggers and enhances vocal expression, paying attention to factors like release and volume. Our aim is to create a space where emotional richness, intimacy, and even moments of discord can thrive, recognizing the importance of diverse voices in fostering care and mutual support.
Veza Fernandez (ES/AT) is a dance, voice and performance artist based in Vienna. Her work deals with the realms of the poetics and politics of vocal expression as a place of relation, imagination and transformation. She entangles singing, writing, dancing and speaking practices as bodily forms of study, experimentation and performance. Her pieces are sensitive and intense, casting polyphonically a convocation of voices and presences that yearn to move and to be moved. Her background stretches between Philology, Pedagogy, Theater, Music and Contemporary Dance. Fields that in a way or the other influence her artistic researches and modus operandi within art making and art presenting. Her work is strongly rooted locally, infiltrating from within the underground scene bigger dance and theater institutions. She holds a Masters in Choreography from DAS Graduate school (Amsterdam Academy for Theatre and Dance). Her work has been shown amongst other in brut Wien, Tanzquartier Vienna, Sophiensaele Berlin, Gesnerallee Zürich, de Singel Antwerp, La Casa Encendida Madrid. www.vezafernandez.com
