Performing Foe

2009



 

A sequel to my video “Foe” where I received voice accent lessons from a speech coach, this time I have taken on the role of teacher and begun to instruct my students on how to enunciate and speak in the ways of my cultural voices.  The video features a group of students standing before me like a choir, reciting sounds that become abstracted in their repetition. The work plays on the notion of pedagogy through mimicry and disguise.
