“the world is sound” is a 3-week full-time module dedicated to the exploration of the human voice 
as medium for physical expression in contemporary performance. Each week a different voice artist will lead group research centered on the voice 
and the body from three complementary angles.

Week 1 will approach the voice through a variety 
of methodologies inspired by dance somatics and physical theatre practices, to land in the realm 
of group improvisations. Week 2 will address improvising and playing with songs, text and movement and the relation between these elements. In week 3 voice and bodily gestures will be experienced and tested as semiotic polyvalent signs to be harnessed as performative material. In the mornings there will be warm-up classes led by Lichtenberg Method teacher Robert Liethoff, which will focus on fine-tuning listening and vocal emission.

The module is open to anyone interested in the human voice and its performative potential, and 
is intented to create a space in which to meet, exchange, question and feed future learning. No previous experience with voice work is required.

Each of the four modules lasts three weeks, divided into daily morning training and afternoon intensives.

The morning classes (mon-thu, 2h) are taught by different guest teachers with the purpose of providing a thorough warm up, while introducing 
the students to a variety of somatic movement approaches.

The four intensives (mon–fri, 4h) focus on specific issues of contemporary performance. They are led 
by international choreographers who will share with the group their personal research, vision and methodology with the aim of creating an open environment for artistic experimentation and critical discourse.

The final week of each module functions as an integrative space where the participants are invited to push their own artistic practice by developing a performative proposal related to the module's topic. This process will be facilitated and mentored by the module's teacher.
