Sound and rhythm
The workshop shows how to enhance poetic language through the manipulation of rhythm and sound - two main properties of spoken language. The participants will learn how to use simple but effective electronic devices and software to rearrange and modify their own voices for live performance and prerecorded pieces. The workshop will focus on play and experimentation and will not require any knowledge in computer or other technology other than writing and/or speaking.
