The symposium ‘Embodied Sound’ is an evening’s exploration and discussion of the connection between sound and the performer's body in current live practice. The wide range of approaches includes vocal experimentation, use of the body’s various ‘signals’ captured through sensors, and the translation/interpretation of sound into live illustration.

Performers will be presenting and discussing their live work, including: Marco Donnarumma, Sharon Gal and the Live Hazard Collective (Guy Harries and Valerie Pezeron.

Guest speaker Zeynep Bulut (King’s College London) will present a paper on the connection between sound and the body, and Michael Bunce (UEL) will chair a panel with all the presenters, including Q&A.

The symposium is preceded by an afternoon ‘live sound / live illustration’ workshop organised by Live Hazard Collective (4.15-5.45pm). All workshop participants will collaborate on an improvised sound piece, as well as live illustration in response to sound. ALL WELCOME (including those who do not consider themselves 'musicians' or 'illustrators').
