GUEST SPEAKERS / PERFORMERS
Marianna Maruyama (1980, California) is an artist based in the Netherlands (where she moved after living in Japan). Through writing, audio recording, drawing and play, she looks for ways that sound and movement facilitate an understanding of position. Orientation and voice, specifically loss of position as it relates to loss of voice are dominant themes in her practice.

Jaap Blonk (1953, Woerden) performs an on-the-spot choice from his huge repertoire: sound poetry and voice pieces from the tradition (from Hugo Ball to John Cage), and from his own work (experimental texts, phonetic etudes, invented languages, improvisations).
