Sylvan Baker - Changing the Resonance

Practitioner and researcher Sylvan Baker examines listening within applied theatre practices.

Sylvan has worked across applied theatre, socially engaged arts and education for the past 30 years, and is currently a Senior Lecturer at the Central School of Speech and Drama.

He describes a process of using ‘headphone verbatim’ to share testimonies with care-experienced young people, and shows how playback and performance change the resonance of the spoken word.
