By learning Akemi’s unique method of uniting voice and body through a circular breathing technique, the participants compose their own expressive resources in the form of vocalic screams. Thereby, the inner strength and something primal gets activated to be transformed into a performance, by imitating barks, howls, roars and other natural sounds as well using variations of the vocal work of artists such as Yoko Ono, Diamanda Galás and Marina Abramović.
