Marlene Fally - piece for noise and distorting voice

I am researching the scream – right now I am mostly focussing on how screaming can release, but also create, tension, how it acts as a form of (non-)articulation and how the scream can open up new layers in an acoustic as well as mental space. During this research it has been helping me to also look into theatre, breathing techniques, concepts of noise and political/social meanings of the scream as well as the usage of one’s voice in relation to their (percieved) gender. Furthermore, I am interested in the scream in a performative setting – especially in the relationship between the audience, who witnesses the scream, and the performer (who screams). I aim to explore this topic through gradually building and evolving a live performance around the scream (and it is crucial here to scream myself) and conversations with people, who are interested/work with the scream too.

Marlene Fally is currently studying sonology in the Hague. She is mostly drawn to live performance and keeping herself busy learning how to code as well as thinking about the social and political aspects of sound, music and live performance. The voice has been fascinating her for quite a while, which played into the choice of the topic for the project she is working on these days. She also composes pieces, plays in a band and every now and then she works with visual media as well.

Dinner discussion about the history and future of the RCC 

We would like to invite you all to an open discussion about the history and the possible future of the RCC. Whether you were attending or presenting at one of our events, we would be interested to receive feedback if it'd been helpful to your praxis. Unfortunately, two of our board members are leaving, so the aim and working of RCC might change next year therefore if you have some thoughts or want to impose your own agenda; now is the time.
