Voice InFormation
The research group Sang i danning is a forum where singing as a cultural phenomenon, singing as impression, expression and imprint, singing as talent, singing as identity, singing as a profession, singing as a subject, singing as sound, technique and perception and singing as a leisure activity are put on the agenda.
All members of the research group have broad professional expertise and experience with performative expression. Through research and development work, we seek to improve the conditions for the aesthetic subjects in kindergarten and school, among other things by creating awareness of the unique nature of the aesthetic subjects and opportunities for growth, joy, unity, cooperation, and the experience of meaning and belonging.
Overall goals:
- motivate research into the importance of vocal expression in kindergarten, school and voluntary music life
- explore connections between voice and formation
- gather and make available knowledge about voice use, singing and vocal communication
- explore singing as a complex artistic expression, and the formative and didactic potential of this
