OBJEM GLASU | EMBRACED BY VOICE
Objem glasu je interdisciplinarni projekt, ki uvaja vokalno-gibalno improvizacijo kot podporno prakso za prostovoljce Slovenskega društva Hospic, ki spremljajo umirajoče in njihove bližnje. Projekt izhaja iz razumevanja, da delo z umirajočimi zahteva visoko stopnjo čustvene prisotnosti, notranje stabilnosti in sposobnosti regulacije, hkrati pa pogosto poteka brez sistematične podpore za tiste, ki to delo opravljajo.
Skozi ustvarjalni proces vokalno-gibalne improvizacije projekt odpira varen in nehierarhičen prostor, v katerem se lahko udeleženci povežejo s svojim telesom, glasom in doživljanjem v trenutku. Improvizacija temelji na sprejemanju nepredvidljivosti, poslušanju in odzivanju na to, kar se dogaja tukaj in zdaj – lastnosti, ki so ključne tudi v hospic kontekstu, kjer se življenje in smrt srečujeta v svoji neulovljivosti in ranljivosti.
Embraced by Voice is an interdisciplinary project that introduces voice-movement improvisation as a complementary practice of support for volunteers of the Slovenian Hospice Society who accompany the dying and their loved ones. The project stems from the understanding that working within palliative care requires a high level of emotional presence, internal stability and ability to self-regulate, while at the same time this can take place without enough systematic support for those delivering voluntarily.
Through the creative process of voice-movement improvisation, the project opens a safe and non-hierarchical space in which participants can connect with their bodies, voices, and experiences in the moment. Improvisation is based on accepting unpredictability, listening, and responding to what is happening here and now – qualities that are also crucial in the hospice context, where life and death meet in their elusiveness and vulnerability.
Objem glasu je projekt na presečišču kulture in zdravja, ki skozi umetniško prakso vokalno-gibalne improvizacije raziskuje možnosti podpore duševnemu zdravju in dobrobiti posameznikov v čustveno zahtevnih okoljih. Projekt poteka v okviru razpisa Društva Asociacija – Kultura in zdravje 2025, znotraj programskega okvira Kultura za duševno zdravje, in je usmerjen v podporo prostovoljcem, ki spremljajo umirajoče ter se pri svojem delu redno srečujejo z intenzivnimi čustvenimi in psihološkimi obremenitvami.
V tem kontekstu je vokalno-gibalna improvizacija razumljena kot kulturna in umetniška praksa, ki omogoča utelešeno prisotnost, razvoj čustvene regulacije in krepitev notranjih virov, brez terapevtskega pritiska ali potrebe po razreševanju izkušenj.
Embraced by Voice is a project at the intersection of culture and health, which, through the artistic practice of voice-movement improvisation, explores the possibilities of supporting the mental health and well-being of individuals in emotionally demanding environments. The project is being carried out within the framework of the open call by Asociacija – Culture and
Health 2025, within the programme framework of Culture for Mental Health, and is aimed at supporting volunteers who accompany the dying and regularly encounter intense emotional and psychological burdens within their work.
In this context, voice-movement improvisation is understood as a cultural and artistic practice that enables embodied presence, the development of emotional regulation, and the strengthening of internal resources, without therapeutic pressure or the need to resolve experiences.
