Beginning with a large sound archive built up over several years and bringing together numerous interviews in French, English, Spanish and German, the aim of\u00a0A Project Made of Voices<\/i>\u00a0is to explore forms that will facilitate in-depth exploration of oral documentation through choreography, focusing on themes such as the imprint, echoes, resonance and sediment.<\/span><\/p>\n De Soto follows two lines of exploration in this project. Firstly, the question of meaning and sense in imagining a documentary object; and secondly, the voice as physical matter, with the aim of creating a distance from the meaning of discourses and narratives in order to play with words, language and languages, accents, tones, intonation and intention, and find ways in to the conception of an abstract object.<\/span><\/p>\n Olga de Soto<\/b>\u00a0is a choreographer and dance researcher. She was born in Valencia and lives in Brussels. She obtained a degree at the Angers National Centre for Contemporary Dance, after having studied classical and contemporary dance and music in Valencia and Madrid.<\/span><\/p>\n Her creative trajectory began in 1992, and since the year 2000 she has been focusing on the study of memory and the impact, use and perpetuity of the performing arts, following two different lines of research: the study of bodily memory; and the History of Dance through the memory and perception of certain works as these are held by spectators of them and also the dancers who have interpreted them, which has led to de Soto generating and building up an archive of numerous text, iconographic, oral and audiovisual documents.<\/span><\/p>\n De Soto\u2019s work has been seen in around twenty countries. She is regularly invited to hold talks and workshops at different universities and to share her methodology.
