AVA National Conference for 2024
05 Oct 2024, 9:00 am – 06 Oct 2024, 4:30 pm
Melbourne, 131-135 Bourke St, Melbourne VIC 3000, Australia
The AVA Board is delighted to announce the AVA National Conference for 2024, to be held at Citadines on Bourke, Melbourne, on October 5th and 6th. This year’s theme, ‘Harmony in Voice – Bridging Art and Science’ is a unique opportunity to interpret and discuss the intersection between the voice as a physical phenomenon and its impact on both the arts and the artist. The human voice is uniquely physiological, psychological, biosocial, and creative. At a time when science offers a greater understanding of how the voice functions, we find ourselves at a crossroads of traditional pedagogy and practice integrated with current analysis and research. The outcome is a more advanced understanding of how we link and deliver the artistic and scientific disciplines of the voice. At this year’s conference we will investigate this dynamic field through multiple artistic and scientific perspectives.
Meet our presenters for our conference topic: ‘Paediatric Voice in Performance’ on Sunday 6th October!
Dr Debra Phyland, speech pathologist, Associate Professor at Monash University, and co-founder of Melbourne Voice Analysis Centre presents: ‘Enhancing and Maintaining Vocal Resilience in Child Performers’.
Alessandra Giannini, voice clinician and a leader in the assessment and treatment of paediatric voice disorders, presents: ‘Children’s Hoarse Voices: Towards a Better Understanding’
Debra and Alessandra will be joined by Peter Rutherford, music director, composer, voice teacher and lecturer at the Victorian College of the Arts, The University Of Melbourne.
Join us at our upcoming conference with these three amazing speakers and many more!
