Dissidences*. Sound, voice, word. — Dissidences*. Sound, voice, word.
Poetesses and/or poets, singers, performers, gather in a semi circle around a music improviser. Reading, reciting, singing or babbling. Spontaneity and dissidence are the rules. Spontaneity and dissidence will be the basis for the creation of a collective piece.
Dissidents 5:
Monika Tobel & Yě Yě with movement & voice
Edward Shipsey & Gardyloo Spew with sound & voice
Monika Tobel is London based interdisciplinary artist working with themes of ecology and interspecies connections. She experiments with possible non-linguistic modes of communications utilizing sound, touch, movement and listening to build interspecies relationship and engage with the more-than-human world. She devices exercises that help her un-learn anthropocentric habits and gain a somatic understanding of being in the world as part of the ecosystem.
