Narrative
Bithell’s research into the natural voice movement and global singing traditions generated new knowledge, understanding and methodologies that have impacted on professional and creative practice. Beneficiaries of the research include: i) an international network of 700+ choir directors, whose practice has been elevated, enriched and expanded; and ii) thousands of amateur singers and performers of world music, who have experienced technical improvement and new forms of intercultural engagement. Key pathways to impact included: i) professional development accessed via a monograph, CPD events and online resources; and ii) voice workshops, festival plenaries and advisory work that engaged a wider public.Impact date | Jan 2014 → Dec 2020 |
