Resonant Geometries & Body Resonances Workshop

“The voice exists at the intersection of presence and absence, the interior and the exterior, body and substance, subject and the Other, mere sound or noise and meaningful articulation. It occupies an intermediate space where it resonates connecting it all. “ Carmina Escobar
​
The project consists of two phases. The first phase, called "Body Resonances", is a laboratory/workshop where I will be the facilitator. The aim is to explore body mechanics related to voice production and their potential to create connections in group settings. We will delve deep into bodily resonances using the voice as a sound generator and the other participants' bodies as amplifiers and resonant objects. The goal is to create a performance called "Resonant Geometries". This laboratory is open to anyone aged 18 to 100, and consists of two 1 ½ hour sessions, with a maximum of 20 people. The space is designed to help participants understand body mechanics through games, exercises, and discussions of the experiences presented at the laboratory.
The second phase is the realization of the "Resonant Geometries" performance, which is a participatory performative installation in a public resonant space that include participants from the laboratory/workshop and audience members who are willing to take part. It involves simple guided scores using the body and voice to create an immersive sonic experience for both participants and audience. The piece encourages physical interaction with the space and each other, highlighting the possibilities of connection through the body and voice.
