Hearsay is the title of a project that encompasses different research materials and phases developed over the course of 2020 and 2021. The research focuses on the spaces in-between breath, sound and singing, and on the concept of respiratory empathy. It aims to develop a movement practice that visually exposes the physical work involved in breath control and in producing and sustaining sound. We are interested in researching the ambiguous place of the voice and focus on the issues of gender involved in the production and interpretation of sound: especially in the exploration of the female vocal range, its possibility of achieving high pitches and the qualities between singing, screaming and wailing. These are some of the research materials — in process and in progress.
