Abstract This paper investigates the changing relation of the human voice to theatrical space. Innovations in digital sound technologies are reconfiguring the materiality of the voice and, consequently, the mediality of contemporary theatre. Western theatre, which developed alongside the shift from an oral to a visually-oriented, literate society, has largely remained a visual medium that continually subsumes orality. New media of the 19th and 20th centuries prompted various proposals for a “total theatre,” which generally worked towards removing voice and language from the theatrical environment. Drawing upon the recent multivocal works of Quebec artist Marie Brassard, the author proposes that today’s digital sound technologies are redrawing the possibilities for voice in a theatre that enables, in McLuhan’s terms, the constant “interplay of the senses” within a new acoustic space.

<p class="p1">Resumo:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p3">Através do exame da ontologia e do lugar da dança digital no espectro da expressão coreográfica contemporânea, este artigo se propõe a considerar a interação e o agenciamento do interoceptivo (somático) e do exteroceptivo (tecnológico) na terceira onda das interfaces digitais para a dança. Ele argumenta que uma ontologia da dança digital pode ser qualificada sumariamente como um modo <em>ativo de experiência sensório-perceptiva </em>capaz de revelar novas dimensões da recepção estética, modos de performatividade e expressões da presença corporal na dança que emergem com/através do <em>corpo mediado</em>. Ele não considera a tecnologia como estrangeira, como um agenciamento autônomo, um sistema ou uma simples ferramenta, mas sim como um meio de estimular a consciência sensória expandida e forjar relações com a experiência corporal somática (interna) do indivíduo. Referindo-se a uma série de trabalhos recentes que estabelecem as condições para tais experiências, considera ainda de que forma os trabalhos digitais desenvolvem e enfatizam a <em>perspectiva </em>como uma estratégia dramatúrgica e estética e, consequentemente, como as novas interfaces de mídia para a dança podem ser consideradas “<em>novos dispositivos de ver-sentir</em>”.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p><p class="p4"><span class="s1">P</span>alavras<span class="s1">-</span>chave<span class="s1">:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>Dança digital.

It argues that an ontology of digital dance might be summarily qualified as an active sensory-perceptual mode of experiencing, capable of revealing new dimensions of aesthetic reception, modes of performativity and expressions of corporeal presence in dance that emerge with/through the mediated body. It views technology not as a foreign, autonomous agency, system or simple tool, but rather as a means of stimulating heightened sensory awareness and forging relations with the individual’s somatic (inner) bodily experience. While referencing a range of recent works that establish the conditions for such experiences, it further proposes to consider how digital works develop and underscore perspective as a dramaturgical strategy and aesthetic, and as a consequence, how new media interfaces for dance can be considered ‘new viewing-sensing device’.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em></p><p class="p4"><span class="s1"><em>K</em></span><em>eywords</em><span class="s1"><em>:<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></em></span><em>Digital dance.
