The recent wave of interdisciplinary scholarship on/through voice has moved decisively away from perceptions of voice as singular, solipsistic or as tied to selfhood in one-directional or indexical ways. Voice (or rather: voicing or vocality) is now understood and practised as multiple, plural, and emergent. This curated panel seeks to embrace this approach and, in light of the symposium’s thematic remit, addresses vocal practice as a material or component of theatrical collaboration. Also, and crucially, it proposes a rethinking of theatre voice as collaboration. This part of the session consists of invited talks and demonstrations by artists that work with/through voice: Francesco Bentivegna, Alex Nowitz and Cathy van Eck.
