Voices in My Body invites audiences to explore the complexities of the human emotional experience through the perspectives of four distinct characters. Through movement and dance, the inner voices and feelings of the characters are made visible: the part that feels social anxiety, the part that is overwhelmed by the never ending to-do list, the part that is jealous of what others have, the deeply loving part… Inspired by the real live of the choreographers of the piece and by the psychological principles of Internal Family Systems, the piece uncovers the raw and often contradictory parts of ourselves, creating a dynamic and emotional journey that will deeply resonate in each spectator.
Voices In My Body is also unique in the way it combines live interactive performance with linked audience headphones/“silent disco” technology in an outdoor setting. The headsets allow the audience to experience a high quality immersive musical experience.
Voices In My Body is bilingual! Through the channels of the silent disco Headphones, the spectators can experience the show simultaneously either in French or in English, allowing the two communities to come together around art in their own language.
Voices In My Body had its premiere in August at the inaugural Island Summer Theatre Festival in downtown Nanaimo, then toured to Duncan for the launch of the book "Virginia Satir’s Evolving Legacy: Transformative Therapy with a Body Mind Connection" and to Victoria in collaboration with Silent DJ Victoria. We are preparing another round of shows in schools in Nanaimo and Vancouver, as well as public presentations this summer on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver.
