voices of
fermentation
Voice improvisation workshop with Esther Adam
Part of the workshop series Precarious Pleasures
The workshop explores the connection between queer voices, fermentation, transformation, and collectivity. We will use vocal improvisation exercises to create the fertile ground for courageous exploration. With somatic work, we will support our nervous systems in order to become more receptive to each other with open ears and bodies. We will play with impulse cycles so that diverse elements can nurture one another and a polyphonic vocal space can emerge.
What vocal fermentation »recipes« are possible? How can collectivity become a fermentation receptacle for change? How can we conduct research and provide space for the principle of non-knowledge? And what is needed for that?
Esther Adam (Esther/she) works across various fields as an interdisciplinary artist, project coordinator and Gestalt practitioner. Esther celebrates moments of togetherness, as well as tenderness and vulnerability that claim their own space, and enjoys unlearning habitual ways of judging.
Precarious Pleasures
»Precarious Pleasures« is a laboratory for improvisation and queer-feminist practice. This year’s series of workshops turns to the world of minerals, bacteria, and microbes in four different workshop formats and invites participants to engage in collective fermenting. What ingredients are required for improvisation—aka voice or movement fermentation? What occurs on its own accord, and what do we add? What type of resistant power can arise when we decompose familiar orders together?
