Do you sing a song?
When do you like to sing?
How can we sing well?
"The singing class" is a stage work about having fun studying songs, voices, and things related to sound. Kinoshita, who specialized in vocal music, and Inoue, who became interested in vocalizing during the production of art and began to incorporate it into her works, met in 2014 at the Meredith Monk's workshop in New York.
Since then, they practiced their voices regularly in Kyoto until Inoue left for the Netherlands in 2016.
This work is the first collaboration in 6 years since the two performed "Voice Pro Wrestling" at MIIT house (Osaka).
