Ralf Peters

Voice and Performance Artist, Philosopher, Listener
Lives in Cologne, Germany
Roy Hart Voice Teacher since 2006

The human voice is a role model for the search of a new and better relationship between humanity and the non-human world.

Ralf Peters was born in 1964 in Germany. He is an extended-voice and performance artist, a doctor of philosophy (Thesis: ‘The knowledge of doing/acting’-‘Das Wissen vom Handeln’, Köln, 2000). He is president of the association stimmfeld e.V. and co-founde of the voice and performance ensemble KörperschafftKlang.

In his work he is currently focusing on the relation between voice and the wounded world and he is looking for new ways of transmitting his experiences with the human voice and as a listener (“beyond workshops”).

Ralf has trained with Paul Silber, Clara Silber Harris, Marita Günther, Jonathan Hart Makwaia and Rosemary Quinn.
He speaks German, English and a little French.
