Pacific Voice Conferences

The XVII Annual PVSF/UCLA Voice Conference is designed for laryngologists, voice pathologists, neurologists, and other clinical personnel caring for voice patients.

The two-day conference focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of neurologically based voice disorders. Scientific lectures, panels, workshops, and clinical grand rounds discuss evidence-based outcomes, critical evaluations of treatment choices, treatment plans, and current clinical technologies.

Topics include the following:

• Phonatory movement disorders: dystonias and tremors
• Voice treatment in Parkinsonian syndrome, MS, ALS, MND, CP, CVA, MG, and trauma
• Vocal cord paralysis, paresis, synkinesis, bowing, and presbyphonia
• Differential diagnostic tests, task-sensitive tests, radiologic tests, chemical tests, acoustic and physiologic tests
• Treatment choices, plans, and technologies
• Augmentative and communication aids
• Biofeedback, acupuncture, TCM, and alternative therapies

Bioengineering Applications in Performing Arts and Entertainment Industry Conference (BAIPAEIC) & XIX Pacific Voice Conference (PVC): Safety, Efficiency & Health on Stage

Conference Details[/button]

The Division of Bioengineering of Santa Clara University’s School of Engineering, together with Pacific Voice and Speech Foundation of San Francisco, CA, announces Bioengineering Applications in Performing Arts and Entertainment Industry Conference: Safety on Stage (BAIPAEIC) to be held April 22-23, 2011 at Santa Clara University in Santa Clara, California, USA. This conference is held together with the XIX Annual Pacific Voice Conference.

Overview

This conference covers a broad spectrum of areas related to bioengineering and intelligent solutions for the performing artists and entertainment industry. Specifically BAIPAEIC focuses on how bioengineering and biotechnology can serve the performing artists to assure health, efficiency and performance safety, and how bioengineering can assist performing art industry at large.

Objectives

• To provide State–of–the–Art information on applications of bioengineering technology to the fields of the performing arts and the entertainment industry.
• To incorporate bioengineering principals into care, treatment and prevention of injuries of the performing artist.
• To introduce bioengineering principles to modeling of complex sensory-motor interactions produced by the performing artist, with the specific goal of improving performance safety, efficacy and to enhance ergonomic interaction with instruments and performance environment.
• To discuss performance monitoring, evaluating and acquisition of performance skills using advanced bioengineering technology.
• To establish global Centers of Excellence for BAIPAEIC.

Bobbe Norris and Kenny Washington with The Larry Dunlap Trio

Two of the Bay Area’s top vocalists join foces once again for an unforgettable evening. No Blarney!

Bobbe Norris

Bobbe is recognized worldwide as a brilliant vocal interpreter who applies her dusky contralto to carefully chosen songs, some quite obscure. Longtime fan Rex Reed has written that “she reaches into a lyric like she’s pulling taffy and brings out the sweetness and rich flavor of each song, discarding anything superfluous or sticky”. On a recent British tour, The Times (London) wrote: “Norris has no time for artifice. Her lush contralto is direct and unfussy. She is a natural storyteller; as in the music of Chris Connor or Johnny Hartman, every syllable of every lyric is made to count.”

Kenny Washington

Kenny Washington is a jazz vocalist virtuoso. With a range over four octaves, his playful, free approach to any tune is truly awe inspiring. His tone on ballads is liquid, his scat is so rapid-fire, passionate, melodious and inventive that subsequent saxophone solos often pale, and his intonation is so precise that it becomes noticeable if the piano wasn’t tuned that day. His range seems limitless. With a childhood background singing in gospel, Kenny is at home with the Blues as well as Jazz. The San Francisco Chronicle has called Kenny “the Superman of the Bay Area jazz scene, a vocalist with an exuberantly supple tenor that glides effortlessly into the stratosphere.”

Once more with feeling

Bobbe and Kenny are two of the top vocal interpreters singing today. Their stylistic contrasts make for a magical match of voices; Bobbe deep in the traditions of Nat ‘King’ Cole and Ella Fitzgerald and Kenny coming from a background that includes Ella, Stevie Wonder and his own soulful New Orleans roots. Last year they shared this same stage for an outstanding evening of song. Don’t miss this second time around.
