Key word: emotional vocalizations, crying – laughter
1st idea: A research on the physicality of emotional vocalizations like laughter and crying.The aim is to explore the several processes involved in both responses; investigate and document the physical changes occured by crying and laughing.What do you hope to find from this process?
I am interested also to research the different relationships between sound and body reaction during laughter or crying. How much “natural” or social constructed both emotional behaviour are? This could be further refined as a research question – what is the relationship of these ideas to vocals like crying and laughing? Make the connect explicit within the question itself.
Type of media: video performance and documentation, interactive installation, sound text.
The idea of using an artistic process is a good way to approach PaR in order to investigate an area. Further articulation of your question and how this process unveils something that explores this question is the next step
