NORDIC NETWORK for VOCAL PERFORMANCE RESEARCH
a digital space for encounters, discourse, information and links...
Initiated by:
Elisabeth Belgrano, PhD in Theatre and Music Drama (Vocal Performance)
Contact for being part of the network or other information: elibelgrano@mac.com
VISION (in progress)
The use of the human voice has historically been playing a central role of communication in many aspects of society, e.g. in the arts, politics and science. In the urgency of the ongoing global evolution in communication of information via different media the human voice continues to be one of the most important and powerful tools for communicating novel ideas and expressing different states of mind.
The aim is to facilitate, encourage and support a common platform for exploring current and future cross-disciplinary research and education dedicated to the study of vocal performance.
MISSON (in progress)
NNVPR seeks to promote innovative (cross-disciplinary) research and teaching relevant to the Vocal Performance Studies. The network will strive to inspire, exchange and debate on issues relevant to vocal performance research among scholars, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, staff, and other interested members of the research community. The long term goal and purpose of the NNVPR is three‐fold:
• To encourage cross-disciplinary research and inquiry among network members, whose work transcends departmental boundaries.
• To host events, seminars, workshops and symposia with reference to Vocal Performance Research /Studies.
• To pioneer innovative and cross-disciplinary courses on graduate and postgraduate level
