” Your own voice is probably the most personal instrument. 

Using it, working it out and claiming it for yourself is a challenge that requires continuous effort but can also result in strength. 

It is a political act to send your voice out into the space. 

To carry your own voice outwards in order to be present. 

To act as a resonance to the fragility of being. 

Yet even the strongest voice can be delicate and fragile at the same time.  

With the use of the “bodily created sound” of the voice one shapes the world and leads a Vita Activa.”
