Christine Duncan and The Element Choir. The Element Choir is an improvising choir fromTorontoled by vocalist Christine Duncan. This is a group that works with bothstructured and non-structured elements, based primarily on a system of conduction cues.

As an ensemble we explore textural and timbral sound qualities, soundscapes, rhythmicpatterns, sound poetry, group and individual composition ideas, musical genre interplayand extended voice techniques. This cinematic approach to group vocalizing presentsboth tonal and non-tonal material in a constantly evolving and ‗in the moment‘ sonicenvironment.

A musical chameleon with a near five octave range, Christine Duncan uses her voice asan instrument, exploring its full tonal, timbral and textural range. She is involved witheverything from jazz, R&B, gospel, improvised music, sound poetry, to new music andmusique actuelle. She performs with many musical groups and projects, most notablyHugh Fraser‘s VEJI (Vancouver Ensemble of Jazz Improvisation) and Barnyard Drama

with drummer/electronic artist Jean Martin. Christine also teaches voice in the jazzprograms atHumberCollegeand theUniversityofToronto.

create and share. The collective’s inter-disciplinary approach allows for suchengagement at several intersections, visceral, sensual, emotional, intellectual and

spiritual. In this way, the collective seeks to be a multi-textured illustration of theconcerns of our times and how these are expressed through diverse artistic mediumsworking collaboratively to connect to individuals and communities in a multicultural,multiracial society and a global community. The themes the collective is working onecho those of transnationalism, diaspora, globalization as well as the use/abuse of power and the marginalization that results from it and wounds both individual andcollective psyches.

The col lect ive tells the stories of leaves which, like people, become moved by the windsand who all have unique and interesting stories worth being told regardless of diverseidentities, be it women, people with disabilities, ethno-cultural and racialized groups,

immigrants and refugees, faith groups, the poor, Aboriginal peoples, lesbian, gay,bisexual and transgendered people. Inclusivity in practice we feel should exist ineverything that we do as artists and human beings.
