Claudia Tobin (Leverhulme Fellow, and curator at the Royal Drawing School. Art History, English, Cambridge)

Artist and academic Sophie Seita (Cambridge, New York) will lead a research-driven creative practice workshop about repetition, community, and the concept of remaking or re-staging. Practical exercises using voice, movement, and text, drawing on the singing method from the Lichtenberg Institute for Applied Physiology of the Voice, Feldenkrais, and 5Rhythms, will be followed by a roundtable discussion about participants' experiences of practice-based research, and the challenges of integrating scholarship, creative practice, pedagogy, and politics.

Seita works with text on the page, performance and video, often using translation or in multi-media collaborations, with a commitment to queer-feminist politics.

McMurray will lead participants in one of Oliveros's 'sonic meditations'.
