ray langenbach : gesture, stutter, state


Herbert Blau speaks of the voice as an actor's liability rather than gift.

The voice itself is of course a mediation of the nervous system: the site where nerves collide with the present as a sounding or as a collapse, but always as a bottleneck or an embolism.

(Blau, H., 1982. Take up the Bodies: Theater at the Vanishing Point. Urbana: University of Illinois Press.)
