Fides Krucker
vocalographer

Fides Krucker has sung, produced and created contemporary opera and interdisciplinary work in Canada and abroad for forty years. She is an avant guard singer & radical voice teacher. Her book Reclaiming Calliope: Freeing the Female Voice through Undomesticated Singing (North Atlantic Books) re-wilds the human voice through body-based emotional integration. In 1991 Fides founded the interdisciplinary performance ensemble URGE; their final work received two Dora awards and was published by Playwrights Canada. In 2018 her company, Good Hair Day Productions —  known for groundbreaking lyric-theatre — presented In This Body at Canadian Stage with dancers Heidi Strauss, Laurence Lemieux and Peggy Baker. Fides has collaborated extensively with PBDP composing award winning vocal scores for the company’s dancers. Her own voice is noted for its “staggering range and control … less an instrument than a force of nature.” Fides taught voice at Humber College for twenty years and facilitates a wide range of artists in Canada and the US. Her teacher training programme launched in the summer of 2021. 

For Peggy Baker Dance Projects: Fides created vocal scores for who we are in the dark, Aleatoric Solo No. 2, Aleatoric Trio No. 1, locus plot, and  land | body | breath; as well as reconstructing and coaching Ahmed Hassan’s vocal score for Geometry of the Circle.
