Performing the extended voice: the role of the body, movement, technology, improvisation and collaboration

I examine how technological processes enable the performance of a disembodied form of voice that is placed in dialogue with improvised body movements, exploring how the body and technology can be seen as other voices in performance. I question what forms of listening emerge within each human-computer interaction and how much agency is afforded between performers and computer.<br><br>I also reflect on interdisciplinary collaboration as part of the practice-as-research process, discussing the listening and decision making that occurs within the shared voice of movement and sound artists.

Finally, I look at how place and the performance environment contribute to the direction of my artworks.<br><br>The commentary situates the portfolio alongside current authors and artists who discuss and utilise the voice in relation to technology, studying and comparing methods in their approaches to voice, technology, human-computer interaction, body, and movement.
