Crisis Karaoke is a 5-part series of performance-experiments examining how deep feelings of grief, rage and sadness are physiologically embodied and articulated through the human singing voice. Together with the audience, Anne Marina Fidler will use the device of karaoke to traverse through an archive of cross-cultural pop music to discover vocal and lyrical templates for expressions of deep emotions. Through the use of somatic vocal techniques and polyvagal practices, she will invite the audience to explore how the voice can fill the chasms inside of and between our bodies to offer new ways of being together through performance, fostering connection and collective agency.
Crisis Karaoke is funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion as part of LIFETIMES - A CULTURAL COMMUNITY CENTER. Anne Marina Fidler
