The twelfth edition of the Centre for Performance Research’s (CPR’s) international gathering ‘Giving Voice’ is hosted by, and conceived in collaboration with, Teatro Era, Pontedera and takes place in Pontedera from 10-14 November 2010.

‘Giving Voice’ springs from a strong belief in the voice’s ability to communicate beyond language and cultural difference, and that working with the voice can allow people, from wherever they come, to enjoy and value the riches of difference as well as the recognition and celebration of a common humanity. At its heart is the idea ...of koinonia, in the ancient Greek sense of choros and congregation, encountering ourselves and each other through the voice.
