Found Objects: Workshop of sonic reinterpretation
with Alessio Brugiotti
Bring an object from your house that produces a sound (a bunch of keys, a book, a plastic bag, a jar) or we will find it on the spot.
In the workshop we will be encouraged to listen with attention objects chosen randomly creating ways to play based on ergonomics, gestures and structured experimentation.
Everyday objects transformed into sound objects.
The sense of sound is related to interiority and is therefore able to evoke an instinctive and profound memory. If you do not want to bring an object then you’ll be the object item-body. The trial will be accompanied by simple exercises and practices of movement, voice, spatial orientation, imitation and literacy.
Lessons with Ippokratis Veneris:
Lesson 1: The waves
At this meeting we will explore the matter or better, how every being and every object is made up of waves. We will explore our vibrational body and its relationship, coexistence and exchange-connection and communication with other vibrational bodies.
Lesson 2: The point
We will work on the various possibilities that offer us a point of contact for dancing through it, explore, communicate, challenge us, play and surprise us.
