Embodied voice research: negotiating the ‘inner’ and outer’
Thursday 7th May 2026, 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (London Time)
This module is artificially divided into four phases. The central thrust of the module will be around the employment of Donald Schön’s concept of ‘reflection-in-action’ and ‘reflection-on-action’ to contextualise the potential interface between the inner and the outer in embodied voice research.
In phase one we will explore the dynamics of embodied (envoiced) practice, with specific reference to the fluid intersect between subjective object and objective subject (acknowledging Sobchak) within bodyvoice.
In phase two we will engage with the demands of research, with specific reference to how one might capture the relevant material to substantiate any conclusions one may reach through practice. Research as a mode of insight development and justification towards transference will be foregrounded.
In phase three we will turn to current practices in the field of embodied research, with specific reference to the work of Spatz and Tantia (amongst others) to tease out the complexities of embodied voice research. We will align the key nodes of embodied research with the principles of embodied learning.
In phase four we will explore the application of the insight gained in phases one to three in designing possible research trajectories that will adhere to institutional research demands while promoting and honouring the embodied and envoiced processes of our field.
