Chloë Goodchild studied music, English and education at the University of Cambridge and the University of East Anglia from 1972 to 1976 and qualified as a music and English teacher.
Career
[edit]In the 1970s, Goodchild travelled in Africa, India, Turkey, Europe, USA and Canada. She was influenced by Anandamayi Ma. As a result, Goodchild developed a method of sound and voice, which in 1990 she named the Naked Voice.[1] This combines Indian philosophy and classical music teachings with Japanese martial art movements.
Goodchild has worked with politicians, high-security prisoners,[2] Jerry Hall,[3][better source needed] Oprah Winfrey, Glenn Close, and Angelo Badalamenti.[4] She has performed in several cities internationally, including New York in 2001,[5] Edinburgh,[6] and Dublin in 2012.[7] As a composer, her music is on the soundtrack of Jane Campion's Holy Smoke![8][better source needed] and in a celebrity performance of The Vagina Monologues in Madison Square Garden.[5]
Goodchild's solo and compilation albums include Devi, Fierce Wisdom, A Thousand Ways of Light and the Grammy Award-nominated Sura. Goodchild and the Rumi poet, Coleman Barks, recorded two Rumi albums: There is Some Kiss We Want and The Glance. Goodchild has collaborated and recorded with composer John Tavener.
