OBJECTIVE
Together we will host a space for experimentation and the practice of the imagination. A creative workshop open to experimental creators, performers, visual and sound artists and dreamers.
Unfolding souvenirs invites participants to dialogue with future memories, dreams and desires. Searching infinite possibilities. We will bring objects, matter, and materiality into the practice and generously explore what echoes, and transforms. We will make Lo-fi recordings. Be playful and find pleasure. Softly unfolding our souvenirs through our rhythmic scores.
CONTENT
Working with temporality and relationality, we will allocate time to reinvent, play, ignite and be curious. We will aim to cultivate a heightened awareness of sound, deceleration, texture, and sensations expanding on notions of embodiment. We will work with guided practice and have lots of time for experimentation and the witnessing of experimentation.
