“Lleisiau/Voices” is a performance project produced through a creative partnership between Chapter and good cop bad cop. Commissioned as part of Dylan Thomas 100, a year-long programme of cultural and academic activity inspired by the life and work of Dylan Thomas, to mark the centenary of his birth.
It aims to uncover and present to the public the diversity of uses of the human voice in both official languages of Wales, and others spoken by the people who live in Wales. It will present live and mediated presentations of a wealth of vocal stylings, formats and techniques, from Wales and further afield. We want to forefront these more unusual uses of the voice, be it at work or play. Auctioneers, commentators, bingo callers, shepherds, totters, newspaper vendors, voice-over artists, bird impersonators, whistlers, yodellers or distinctive Welsh vocal forms like cyd-addrodd and canu penillion. The project will tour in early 2014, and everyone will be welcome to come and present their vocal speciality at our open days. From there, we will be selecting people to take part in a series of three live performances at Chapter, from 8–10 of May.
If you can’t make it to one of the open-days, there will also be the opportunity to submit audio and video to us, and a selection of these will also be woven into the live presentation, in addition to specifically devised contributions from New York, New Zealand and Wales.
Open days:
Sun 16 Mar 11-5: Oriel Wrecsam Offsite at UnDegUn, 11 Regent Street, Wrexham
