Bodycoder - Voice :: November 22, 2007; 7.45 pm :: Watermans, 40 High Street, Brentford, London.

This unique solo-show is a multi-media revelation of the human voice and its unimaginable intensity. Ten years research into human body movement, multi-sensory perception environments and digital processing has brought about this exceptional show performed by Julie Wilson-Bokowiec. Bodycoder - Voice is part of an ongoing experiment in connecting body movements with sound, intertwining the sensual with the sonic. The experiments render the voice multidimensional and examine how the natural movement vocabulary of the body can become an expressive medium and create and manipulate sound.

Only the energy, breath and raw fractured tonalities of the voice are employed to populate and animate the sound scape of Hand-to-Mouth. Mouth / Larynx and the hands of the performer engage in intimate dialogue in an act of sonic puppetry and ventriloquism.

Bodycoder - Voice features the Bodycoder System © the first generation of which was developed by company formally know as Electronic Dance Theatre in 1995/6. The primary expression functionality of the Bodycoder System is Kinaesonic. In terms of interactive technology the term Kinaesonic refers to the one-to-one, mapping of sonic effects to bodily movements. There are no pre-recorded soundfiles used in the live pieces of this program and no sound manipulations external to the performer’s control.
