This workshop addresses various aspects of "voice" from the collective to thepersonal. As members of society, we hold views and attitudes about our world. These views encompass our "voice", which serves as a basis for how we interactin the world and with each other. Our actual spoken voices are the auditory expressions of our "voice", which conveys personal and idiosyncratic informationof our beliefs and outlooks which is shaped by society and culture. Students are exposed to current ideas on vocalization as an individual and as a member of society. Students also participate in a vocal warm-up and in exercises drawn from theatrical vocal training including relaxation, breath control, volume, articulation, etc. Students address their own vocalizations and what they may convey in a relaxing and informative format.

This course seeks to rethink some of the standard (U.S.) domestic narratives of the "Sixties" that assign a primacy to national/local mass protest, urban rebellion, and liberal reform, by examining the international context that shaped these phenomena.

What does it mean to live in a city How does urban life shape and construct our identities and experiences What role do urban processes play in the construction of racial, ethnic, class, gender, sexual, and political identities What do people mean when they talk about "the ghetto," "the inner city," or "bringing life backdowntown" In this course, traditional urban concerns such as community, anonymity, social difference, spatial divisions, urban renewal/gentrification, safety, violence, and crime are examined anew through the lens of a broad range of social theory. Students work with theory from sociology, geography, media studies, ethnic studies, feminist studies, and queer studies to analyze critically the intersections between urban spatial form and the (de)construction of social categories.
