Irena
Z. Tomažin is a
dancer, choreographer, performer, vocalist, singer and improviser, strongly
present on the local and international scene. As a musician she made her name
with solo project iT, project for voice and dictaphones, where she uses forms
of songs, sound poetry, spoken word, theatre, text and performance. The project
took her on the path of deconstruction of voice which she deepens as an
improviser, solo artist or in various groups and collaborations, where she went
further with exploration of sound and noise of the voice, textures and
in-between spaces of voice, body and bodily mechanics. She performs solo or in
collaborations with among others: Tomaž Grom, Lee Patterson, Xavier Charles,
Christof Kurzmann, Jonas Kocher, Gaudenz Badrutt, Šalter Ensemble, Tim
Blechmann, Michael Zerang, Liz Allbee, Alessandra Eramo, Ilia Belorukov,
Okkyung Lee, Maja Osojnik, Christian Kesten, Ina Puntar, Dré Hočevar, Matej
Bonin and others.
She presented her creative work at several events within program of the Sploh Institute, such as: in the context of the Confine aperto, Re_humanizacija and Neforma series,RR public presentations, international tour, Sound Disobedience
festival and CD compilation. A recording of her solo concerts is a part of the iMstrument
