Vocal Vibrations: Expressive Performance for Body-Mind Wellbeing

The voice and the body are instruments that everyone possesses–they are incredibly individual, infinitely expressive, and intimately linked to one's own physical form. As such, they can affect us on both emotional and anatomical levels. Building on our recent work on capturing operatic performances for Death and the Powers, we are now creating the next generation of tools for analyzing and enhancing expressive vocal and physical performance. Using sophisticated voice, breath, and movement analysis techniques, we seek to develop compelling artistic experiences that encourage the use of the body and singing voice in ways that are physiologically and emotionally beneficial.
