Class Description
How do you experiment with sound and use it in a performance? In this workshop, we'll explore how sound collages can become a valuable part of our daily creation. Creating a practice, a structure, and a ritual that can be embodied within any form of performance. This workshop is for people who are interested in performing and/or experimenting with performances, within any medium. Bring a list of sounds that really inspire you (e.g. Water, train stations, conversations, drums, music, etc.) and you will create a sound collage that can be used as a soundscape. For writers of all experience levels, age 13 - 18 ONLY.
