I am extremely happy to announce the release of my DMA Lecture Recital entitled Women's Voices in Percussion Performance. Although there are many scopes and philosophies in which the female voice can be examined, my lecture recital surveys multiple pieces for the speaking percussionist to analyze the text, gendered material, and how we as performers can use gender tropes in order to enhance our performances. This lecture was also created with the intention of being a performance guide for other musicians, and is structured in a step-by-step basis that I developed while working on commissions for the HER[self] Project.
My research for this topic is continuing to grow and change through my collaboration with other composers, performers, and musicologists who helped me with its development. With that, I would like to thank my committee members Dr. Thomas Burritt, Ivan Trevino, Richard Huntley, Dr. Alison Maggart, Dr. Andrew Del'Antonio, and Dr. Megan Alrutz for helping me push my research to its greatest potential.
