Sunday Process Lab // Voice as Movement with Peter Sciscioli

Sunday Process Lab with Peter Sciscioli Sunday February 21 3-6pm Abrons Arts Center Studio G05, 466 Grand St (between Pitt and Willett Streets) $5 Voice as Movement This lab is intended for anyone interested in exploring or using voice in performance. Drawing focus to breath through awareness and a basic physical warm-up, we will move into an anatomy-based approach to producing sound. Various exercises for cultivating stamina, resonance, range, volume, and articulation will be introduced. We will explore how the extension of movement into sound can alter our perception and activate space differently than movement alone. Further, we will experience a dialogue between spoken language and movement. Finally, we will discover how this interplay can expand the variety of choices that are available to performers, allowing for a fuller means of expression through the body. Registration available in person at the start of the lab. Peter Sciscioli is an interdisciplinary performer, creator, educator and producer, whose work encompasses dance, music, theater and film. He has worked extensively with Meredith Monk, Jane Comfort and Daria Fain, and performed in work by Jonathan Bepler/Matthew Barney, Ping Chong, DD Dorvillier, Tatyana Tenenbaum, Fiona Templeton and Philip Glass/Mary Zimmerman, among others.
