How to perform a scream?
voice and performance workshops (2023 — ongoing)
How to perform a scream? It is a methodology rooted in performance practice and investigates voice as a tool to fracture, reconstruct, and relocate both individual and collective expression, while targeting the unspoken. It gave rise to a series of workshops I started in 2023.
The screaming practice was born from the relationship with my own voice: a lifelong experiment in using it to grow narratives, crack jokes, discover (m)oralities, penetrate languages, carry different tongues, dislocate gender, and voice what once had no space to be spoken. It became not only a survival mechanism but a compass, navigating me through displacement, illness, femininity, and multiplicity.
In practice, the workshops activate the voice as a site of vulnerability and nurturing, as well as a dramaturgy of disobedience and collective force. Drawing from vocal training, acting, and performance art - intertwined with feminist theory (autotheory), crip theory, critical pedagogy, and theater studies - they open spaces where the body becomes an archive of knowledge, rooted in its own autoethnography. At the core of this methodology is the concept of the polyphonic mass-choir, scream, whisper, sob - as a counterstructure to dominant narratives. In these mobile classrooms and screaming (non)places, participants inhabit a shared, cacophonic body.
