人类究竟为何渴望齐声歌唱与集体表达？“众声的渴望”是一系列探索这个问题的实验音乐剧场工作坊，我们将通过声音和身体来回应这个古老的冲动。
人类对集体发声的渴望，贯穿于多种生动的现实与历史场景：从拔河、搬运、拉纤时为统一发力而喊出的号子，到竞技中呐喊“加油”的鼓舞；从火鸡、羊群等动物的群体鸣叫，到人类祖先在狩猎防御中发出的吼声；从古代流传的谶谣、童谣，到《诗经·风》中口耳相传的民间歌诗，乃至“千人所指，无病而死”的集体诅咒。
Why do humans crave collective singing and expression? The Longing For Collective Voicing is a series of experimental music theatre workshops exploring this very question. We will use sound and body to respond to this ancient impulse.
From the work chants (号子 hào zi) shouted during tug-of-war, hauling, or boat pulling to synchronize effort, to the encouraging cheers of ”Jiayou!（加油）“ in sports competitions; from the group calls of animals like turkeys and goats, to the roars our ancestors uttered for hunting and defense; from ancient prophetic folk rhymes (谶谣 chèn yáo) and children‘s rhymes, to the orally transmitted folk songs in the Airs of the States section of the Classic of Poetry (《诗经·风》), and even collective curses like the saying, ”A thousand pointing fingers can cause death without illness.“（“千人所指，无病而死”）

第二场工作坊关注人声中的情绪，以及在集体效力中它不可预计的效果，而材料将转向语气词和具象的文本，并尝试Sprechchor（说话合唱——众人以语言而非旋律的方式同步或交错发声）的形式。除此之外，一个物件将会出现在第二场工作坊：扇子，探索扇动到“煽动”的过程。
在工作坊开始的前3天，参与者将用手机录下的一段自己的声音发给我，我将参与者两两匹配，并将他们各自的录音发给对方，对方需要学习这段录音（包括内容与语气），也就是说，他们在认识这个人之前先认识了他们的声音。在工作坊当天，他们通过声音找到搭档，组成小组。
The second workshop focuses on emotion in the human voice and its unpredictable effects within collective agency. The material will shift toward interjections and embodied text, while experimenting with the form of Sprechchor—spoken chorus, in which multiple people vocalize in synchrony or in overlapping patterns through speech rather than melody. In addition, an object will appear in the second workshop: the fan, exploring the process from “fanning” to “inciting.”
Three days before the workshop begins, participants will send me a recording of their own voice made on their phones. I will pair the participants and send each person’s recording to their partner, who will need to learn the recording, including both its content and tone. In other words, before meeting the person, they will first come to know their voice. On the day of the workshop, they will find their partner through sound and form small groups.
