A recording of Kelli’s workshop with over 65 scholars, students, artists, and industry professionals.
“With the support of a Buffett Global Collaboration Grant, Associate Professor of Theatre Instruction Kelli Morgan McHugh’s research-practice initiative Queer Voices is rethinking vocal training and musical theatre pedagogy to better support transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive performers. From workshops in Evanston to performances at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in Australia, their work is translating insights from speech-language pathology into practical tools for singers, educators, and ensemble directors navigating an increasingly diverse performance landscape—and building a global network of scholars, educators, and artists to do it” (Buffet Institute)
