My Blood Is My Voice
10 April @ 19:00 - 11 April @ 20:30
6£ – 18£
MY BLOOD IS MY VOICE
Explore a multisensory world built around the power of the collective human voice and how its ancestry shapes our connection to life beyond human binaries through the queer & neuroqueer lens.
your voice is a luminary guide to well trodden paths
of fractured facets in knowing
far beyond the time of flesh.
you have within you an infinite ability to hear
far beyond the body’s cochlea
how you choose to listen,
what you choose to break silence with,
holds the capacity to tear down and build worlds
worlds we might want to share
do not abandon this power
Through both improvised and composed vocal performance alongside digital visual and sculptural installation, My Blood Is My Voice invites audiences through a portal of landscapes in collective sound to explore possible futures of co-created world building when deep listening centres the experience of sharing space. After a year-long residency with Ugly Duck to develop their embodied voice work alongside building community through holding vocal & noise healing workshops, this performance seeks to showcase queer & neuro-queer futurism & the power of collective voice by inviting other voices to participate with sound if called to join.

The Project:
My Blood Is My Voice is a ritual gig theatre & vocal healing project in co-creation; exploring the queer & neuroqueer experience through ways of working with the human body as a complete instrument. Artists working on the 2024 showcase include Winter Geamhradhr, Porscha Present, Reyhan Yusuf, Tobi Adebajo, Yuki Nakayama (sound design) & Harshini Karunaratne (digital visual art) We look to work in non-hierarchical modes of writing. Devising & composing music collectively & collaboratively through shared lived experience & magical practice; we seek to deconstructing the gender binary of how the human voice should sound.
We create vocal ‘noisescapes’ collectively to explore questions:
How do we access embodied listening?
What binds and separates our voice to identity?
What permits us to speak to our ancestry?
How do we build trust and step into our collective form?
