OPEN CALL – Actors & Students | Between Voices and Bodies

The project is aimed at those who are curious about how language carries memory, emotions, and identity – and who want to explore their own languages and forms of expression through voice, movement, listening, and sound.

About the project

Between Voices and Bodies is an artistic research project in which participants’ voices are at the center. Through creative workshops, we explore language as both a bodily and artistic material. The material created will become part of a multilingual sound work composed entirely of the participants’ voices.

The project is led by:

Sima Nurali Wolgast (Associate Professor of Psychology and artistic researcher)
Vanja Hamidi Isacson (playwright and artistic researcher)

What does participation involve?

You will take part in three workshops (4 hours each) in Malmö at Inter Arts Center.

Periods:

6–12 April OR 11–24 May

Exact dates and times will be decided in dialogue with participants. Workshops will take place in the evenings and/or on weekends.

During the workshops, we will work with:

• Language portraits – drawing body silhouettes and filling them with languages, dialects, and expressions
• Language and movement exercises
• Voice recordings that may become part of the collective sound work
• Reflection and documentation of the process
