Responses to Participation in Performances of Environmental Vocal Exploration

My PhD research about the use of improvisational singing in Environmental Vocal Exploration (EVE) was completed in January 2022. It’s entitled “Seeking Awareness of Our Selves and the Environment through Vocal Improvisation in The Singing Field”. I am honoured to have studied under the expert guidance of Jesse Stewart, PhD, Ellen Waterman, PhD of Carleton University and Yana Meerzon, PhD of the University of Ottawa. The Singing Field – an immersive, collaborative performance piece was completed throughout summer 2020. Hasi Eldib created the documentary film based on inspiring sings in six locations. Six singers performed together to help me understand what the act of engaging in EVE taught us about environments, and our selves. 

If you find this idea intriguing at all, wish to book me to speak at your event, lead a sing event or just wish to know more, please contact me, nicola.oddy@carleton.ca for more information.
