AUDIOWALK - SOUND, TEXT & PLACE
July 17 - 23
In this course you will have the opportunity to create an audio walk together with others. At the end of the course, participants will have the opportunity to test their sketches in a smaller format during course weekends. The audio walk has an inherent potential to make us listen, see and move in the world in new ways. Through workshops, lectures and your own creation, you will get methods, tools and practical tools. Together we will investigate the relationship between sound, text and place. With inspiration from a performing arts perspective in the meeting with the participants' skills, we will talk about the audio walk's potential as a form in the borderland between fiction and surroundings. Based on the participants' specific areas and interests, we hope that the course will offer inspiration and knowledge to create new works.
Arrangements: The course will include lectures and both individual and joint work in groups. Most of the teaching takes place in the form of workshops where, based on the different parts, text, sound and location, we will do different types of exercises. Participants will work creatively with text, recording and location. The hope is that after the course the participants will have basic tools for writing, recording and cutting to create their own audio walks. Participants will have access to technology for recording, binaural recording and editing.
Bring: All technology is available on the course, but you need your own computer for writing.
Previous knowledge: The course is aimed at those who have some form of artistic practice and is suitable for those who have not previously worked with audio walks.
