SAY AAAAAAHHHHHH
Wednesday 8 May 2019 | 18:30–20.30 pm
The Old Operating Theatre Museum and Herb Garrett, London
[cash-only bar for arrival and during intermission]
Organised by students from Goldsmiths University London, MFA Fine Art this event – held at the oldest operating theatre in Europe – presents an evening of sonic explorations and theatrical interventions. The conceptual framework informing the programme centres on notions of listening which bring together the many diverse practices and ideas through the lens of bodily, cosmic and historical listening.
As part of the event, CRiSAP Director Cathy Lane delivered a workshop with students form the MFA Fine Art at Goldsmiths, exploring a selection of historical and contemporary text-based scores. From this, two new performance scores were collectively created, which will be performed at this event.
CRiSAP’s Salomé Voegelin, whose research engages in listening and hearing as a socio-political practice of sound, will deliver an improvised, performance lecture in which sonic and textual material will be used to stimulate and frame notions of ‘listening’ after which there will be a brief Q+A session.
Other artists will present individual performances, which expand the concept of ‘cosmic, bodily and historical listening’; to explore the nature of consciousness, disability and access, the medieval rack and the disembodied voice.
