About Sound Voice
We make exceptional works of art
By creating unique, interdisciplinary collaborations
Accelerating thinking and transforming practice
Demonstrating why artists and the arts
Are catalysts for multi-sector innovation
Sound Voice is an internationally award-winning arts company that creates powerful, immersive music installations and performances to amplify marginalised voices and instigate systemic change
Our work is a catalyst for knowledge exchange and multi-sector innovation and new insights, bringing together people with lived experience, healthcare and social sector professionals, technologists, researchers, and artists in unique interdisciplinary collaborations.
We place lived experience and voice at the heart of everything we do.
Combining dynamic participatory arts practice with world-class artistry, cutting-edge technology, and research our projects stimulate and transform thinking at individual, organisational, and societal levels.
We invite people to listen differently.
Our work has impacted new commercial product development, contributed to ground-breaking biomedical research and changed the way that the national organisations listen to voice and professionally practice.
We have been globally recognized for our work with prestigious honours, including a Sky Arts Award nomination (opera category), the European FEDORA Digital Prize, the Classical NEXT: Innovation Prize, an Ivor Novello Composers Award, and the Alternate Realities Prize.
We connect people who would never normally meet in the same room
We bring together experts: people with lived experience, world class artists, biomedical researchers, technologists, healthcare professionals and academics to explore ideas.
These are unique opportunities for discussion and shared understanding, making bridges between the arts, science, research and healthcare sectors.
Audiences are introduced to contemporary stories and research, and professionals from multiple sectors connect with the people they work to help in new and unusual ways.
We facilitate equal spaces where roles are redefined
Sound Voice invites individuals and teams to think further, listen deeply, be playful, and imagine outside of the box.
We create spaces in which people feel heard and can express themselves creatively.
We use the arts to generate discussion and cultivate shared understanding, inviting deep exploration into a range of topics and research questions.
We value people’s expertise and ask them to work in new ways. Everyone is equally out of their depth yet gathers fresh perspective.
We create powerful works of art that tell unheard stories
A team of dynamic professional artists translate this collective research and personal narratives into exceptional works of art, working cross-discipline to give audiences multiple ways to connect to an idea.
The live performance and installation work challenges audiences to think differently, seeking to raise awareness of under-represented voices and provoke change in attitude and perception.
We set in motion new ideas
This is the first time that opera has been used within biomedical product development.
We are working closely with science and technology entrepreneurs to initiate new research directions, embedding their technology within works of art.
We operate outside traditional models of the arts, social sciences and healthcare to remain flexible and responsive.
Using the arts as a central catalyst for creative collaboration we advocate ways of working cross sector that place people with lived experience at the very centre.
