The Santorini Experiment: How Philosophy Ended its Ancient Quarrel with TheatreAndro Linklater In July 2009, a group of actors and philosophers met on the island of Santorini, under the direction of voice teacher Kristin Linklater, to explore links between the theatre’s approach to truth and philosophy’s. Linklater’s voice exercises were to be the bridge. Surprisingly, there was a meeting of mind and body--and some mutual understanding between theatre and philosophy. | |
Re-imagining the Actor’s QuartetRob Pensalfini This essay argues that the relationship between body, intellect, emotion, and voice in an actor’s expressivity are not related in an equal fashion, as per Kristin Linklater’s "actors quartet," but rather in a hierarchical fashion whereby the trinity of body, intellect, and emotion find their ultimate expression through the voice, united by breath. | |

The Moment of Nothing: A Philosophical Note on the Work of Kristin LinklaterDavid Farrell Krell This paper explores some philosophical presuppositions about the human voice that have been dominant since Plato. It sees in the work of Kristin Linklater a theoretical and practical application of ideas in Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Jacques Derrida that challenge the ancient presuppositions. | |

The Voice, the Body, and the Mind: Reflections in the Aftermath of Kant and HerderAngelica Nuzzo This essay examines the connection between sensibility and voice in a prominent but generally overlooked historical connection, namely, in the relation between Kant and Herder. On this basis, it draws consequences for our philosophical thinking of the role that the voice plays in articulating philosophical thinking. | |

Voice as “Relational Space”: Agency beyond Narcissism or the Loss of SelfMollie Painter-Morland In this paper I develop the notion of "relational space" by drawing on the theoretical perspectives of Adriana Cavarero, Julia Kristeva, Peter Sloterdijk, and Judith Butler. The paper itself was written before my arrival at the Santorini Voice Symposium, but I believe that the relational space created there allowed the paper to gain much force. I therefore reflect on the visceral experience of presenting the paper, not as a typical academic reading, but rather as my embodied interaction with the audience. In a very real sense it was the relational space created in Santorini that brought the paper to life and, in this process, allowed its conclusions to be revealed. | |

The Voices That I AmWalter Brogan This essay employs resources from Beckett and Heidegger to reflect on and analyze the breach that exists in the voice. The argument is made that this breach and the doubling of the voice that it involves can be understood as a silence that is the other of the voice and that makes being in communication outside oneself possible. | |

Freedom in Community: Aristotle’s Polis and Linklater’s Actor’s QuartetKevin Thomas Miles This essay identifies an analogy between Kristen Linklater’s “actor’s quartet” and Aristotle’s conception of community constructed around his understanding of a polis. Aristotle and Linklater suggest a model of community that is not at all abstract, but is rather a phenomenological description of a cooperative set of relations. | |
