Breath Art: The Past, Present, and Future of Creative Breathing | Torrance Festival of Ideas

Shodekeh Talifero

What is Breath Art? When breathing is identified as a creative medium of artistic expression and application unto itself beyond its priceless functionality, a whole new world of dynamic possibilities is revealed through shared practice, illuminating theories, and historic examples. From the vocal arts, music, theater, the visual arts and the martial arts, breath has always been an indispensable tool. Yet as we move through this challenging time in the midst of our current and convergent pandemics of COVID-19 and systemic racial injustice, “Breath Culture” around the world may never be the same.

With 34 years of personal, professional, and community-based experience, Dominic “Shodekeh” Talifero continues to make musical strides as a beatboxer, vocal percussionist, and Breath Artist who pushes the boundaries of the human voice within and outside the context of hip-hop music and culture. Shodekeh currently serves as Towson University’s very first Innovator-in-Residence.
