My Blood Is My Voice is a ritual gig theatre & collective vocal healing project in co-creation; exploring the queer & neurodivergent experience through decolonised ways of working with the human body as a complete instrument and storyteller.
Founded by Winter Geamhradhr, Porscha Present, Bea Xu, Reyhan Yusuf & Tobi Adebajo.
We come together as practitioners to explore the physical experience of an amplified space to support affirmation of the queer & neuroqueer voice. Exploring and defining what spiritual alchemy in transformation means to the individual.
Creating a vocal ‘noisescape’ collectively to explore these questions:
What binds and separates our voice to identity?
What permits us to speak to our ancestry?
What bridges the gap between voicing and understanding?
How do we identify with transformation in community, with stepping into collective listening?
A research & development piece which seeks non-hierarchical modes of writing. Devising theatre/composing music collectively & collaboratively through shared lived experience & magical practice. Decolonizing the method of storytelling. Deconstructing the gender binary of how the human voice should sound. Amplified voices bear witness to, and hold safe all freedom of expression in catharsis. However ugly. However wild. We are here to make space, give space & take space. To surrender and give to our collective power.
