Voice Break

Voice Break

"Voice Break" is a durational performance piece in which trans identifying singers use their voice to break wine glasses. In partnership with the New Voices Bay Area TIGQ Chorus, the work reflects on the dangers of using one’s voice in an era where breath and sound are mediated by screens and masks, "Voice Break" explores the power of the untethered physicality of voice. Emanating from an individualized place of identity politics and expanding out into shared collective space, embodying the frustration and desire to speak out, speak up, and project one’s own voice.
