Lip Synching: A Seriously Fun Way to Engage with the Familiar, and Reflect, and Connect, and Learn, and Venture into the Unknown: A Chapter to Be Lip-Synced
摘要
In this chapter we introduce lipsynching as a seriously fun method to engage with the familiar, and reflect, and connect, and learn, and venture into the unknown in education and human services. We describe and demonstrate lip syncing by generating a play script about lip-synching, voice recording the play script, and then lipsyncing the played back voice recording. We then reflect and report on what we learnt from doing this method and what it could mean for creative adventures in education and human service practice. We make the case that lip synching is an easy, fun, engaging, and pleasurable way to generate connections, for example with stories. We also argue that lip-syncing is a method that affords the sitting with and inhabitation of difference and the non-normative by promoting ambiguities and play with what seems strange and queer. And we argue that lipsynching can support change, for example in how people know themselves, others, and the world they inhabit, and by building foundations for ‘yet to bes’.
