Critical Ideas: Voice in Performance

From Jimmy to Jerk, from Taylor Mac to Tanya Tagaq, PuSh performances over the years have offered various presentations of the human voice. Drawing on their practice-based research in sensory ethnography, theatre studies, Indigenous studies and ethnomusicology, panelists discuss what it means to make oneself heard in and through performance.

Speakers:

Dara Culhane, professor of anthropology, SFU
Virginie Magnat, associate professor of creative and critical studies, UBC Okanagan
Dylan Robinson, assistant professor & Canada Research Chair in Indigenous arts, Queen’s University

Critical Ideas is a new initiative with SFU’s Institute for Performance Studies to bring together artists, critics and scholars in a series of critical conversations on formal, social and ideological issues affecting performance practice and reception today. Moderated by Peter Dickinson.
