In the weeks from January 11 till February 12, SNDO hosts a great line up of internationally renowned artists in the frame of the block THINKING THROUGH GENDER: ON VOICE. In January we welcomed Italy based performing arts theorist and independent curator Piersandra Di Matteo working with SNDO 2.

Her theoretical research concerns postdrammatic theatre and performative formats as procedural phenomena, linguistics and contemporary philosophy. At the Department of the Arts (University of Bologna) she has been focusing her theoretical trajectory on the topology of speech, the politics and ethics of the voice. She has been part of international conferences and lectures dedicated to these topics. Her experimentation with cross-forms of performance and editorial production often involves projects in critical writing, performative writing and moments that intertwine theory and practice, understood as tactics in the configuration of other spaces for the construction of knowledge. She is also a theoretical consultant for artists and performers. Since 2008, she has been working closely with Romeo Castellucci as dramaturge. Her latest publication: Toccare il reale. L’arte di Romeo Castellucci, Cronopio, Napoli, 2015.

The SNDO seminar will focus on the three thematic sections: Topology of the voice, Vocal delinquency, Capture of the speech.
