[email protected] – The Sounding Body: Speaking in Tongues

In this class we will work with breath, utterance, bodily tremors, and speaking in tongues. We will explore the in-between place of speaking and not speaking, dancing and not dancing. How does one approach the unspeakable in a dance? As we improvise dances moved by breath, and language moved by utterance, we will also experiment with rupturing dances, songs, or stories and intervene in what’s expected—to engage the poetics of rupture!

mayfield brooks’s The Sounding Body: Speaking in Tongues class was offered by Movement Research this fall as part of MR’s The Sounding Body workshop series for the investigation of voice and movement.
