Dark Voices: The Genesis of Roy Hart Theatre (Africa Series, 1)

Dark Voices focuses on the voice's special relationship to soul and gives a sense of what a heightened awareness of this relationship can bring to contemporary performers and individuals. Noah Pikes has assembled for the first time a narrative which traces not only the stories of Alfred Wolfsohn and Roy Hart-modernist pioneers in voice and theater respectively-but also a cast of characters who made up Roy Hart Theatre in the 60s and 70s. In addition, everyone from C.G. Jung to Harold Pinter to John Cleese makes important cameo appearances. This is the first book on the vision and use of the human voice as a mirror of the psyche.
