Her work includes performances, installations and soundwalks.  She is interested in exploring people's special relationship with familiar places and how that links to personal history and memory.

12:30pm Viv Corringham (voice) / Jacques Soddell (computer)

PERFORMANCE (duration:approx 20 min)  Hear our earlier improvisation at http://jacquessoddell.bandcamp.com/releases


1-6pm Viv Corringham:  Shadow-walks in Melbourne

INSTALLATION (duration 14m21s)

This sound-work is part of my ongoing Shadow-walks project, in which I ask people to take me on walks that are meaningful for them in some way. While walking together, I record our conversations and the sounds of the environment. I then go back along the same route alone, attempting to get a sense of my previous companion’s traces on the walk. Then I sing what I feel using wordless improvisations. The recordings used in this work were made in Melbourne in 2014. My thanks go to the four ear-minded people who took me on their favourite walks:  Ros Bandt, Warren Burt, Catherine Clover & Anthony Magen.

6pm: Viv Corringham (voice) / Jacques Soddell (computer)

PERFORMANCE (duration: approx 20 min).
