Attendants
The workshop is intended for sound and text enthusiasts, as well as for actors and musicians, but experience is not a prerequisite.
Approach: individual and group
Through games and breathing, voice and text improvisation exercises, Vesna will practice the production of individial and group content with the attendants. In a possible combination with musical instruments, the final product will be improvised content of multiple layers, ready for a short public performance.
The autor will work with the attendants partly without electronics (a capella) and partly while mixing sound live on her 16-channel ipad, creating audio effects as well as continuous multichannel sound layers.
The possibility of public performance
For the interested attendants, there is a possibility of public performance in front of a chosen audience.
