My approach is based on feedback and process-based actions unraveled throughout a period. This feedback comes from feministc approaches on listening and giving back to the people, relating in practices of listening and participating. So, first I want to explore speech acts- a performative action of making things and space for it through embodied participation and vocal expression, together with others by applying practices related to it in a safe space. And second listening to our surroundings, presences that occupy the public space, how they get expressed, what these sounds reveal, what do we understand.
Make a platform or object of interaction and leave people decide what to do with it

WARM UP YOUR VOICE
I want to create a temporary (public) space of expression and active involvement.
"speech act embraces the way the language is used and communicates what should be done and not what does this mean." Focus on sound and presence of the voice.
"speech act embraces the way the language is used and communicates what should be done and not what does this mean." Focus on sound and presence of the voice. Occupying space by presence and radio.
A series of meetings and trying outs of vocal workshops in moments of Leeszaal (language courses, wereldvrouwen, cafe NL). In the meetings we can also use material from previous meetings.
Exercises:
- Reading extracts or just discussing, saying a sentence in the native language, somebody else transcribing the vowels of that sentense, reading outloud the vowels all together, or only the person that transcribed them. If we read it all together we record ouselves and listening back to it. Like creating small chanting pieces every time we meet.

FEEDBACK COMPOSITION
Subverting the area by embedding sounds from other areas or online spheres (that maybe reflect an past image of the area or my imaginations). Relation of content with title and structure of Sound walk (private- public, gender separation, amplification of female voice, mediators, distorted voice)
Subverting the area by embedding sounds from other areas or online spheres (that maybe reflect an past image of the area or my imaginations). Relation of content with title and structure of Sound walk (private- public, gender separation, amplification of female voice, mediators, distorted voice). Sounds of exclusion or daily routines inside houses of women

Experiment: How to reveal more about these sounds and peoples stories? Questions to the people=> where is that sound came from, what space it has existed and what has happened. So opening the discussion on female voices and sounds in public.
