Young Sounds Collaborative

Creative workshops for kids and caregivers.

Duration: 90 minutes each

Description: In these workshops, kids aged 10-15will be guided through techniques for improvised performance using musical instruments, sensors, and movement. Instructors will offer creative tools and techniques for children to choose and perform with, and then the group will cooperatively create new multimedia performances.

During session one (September 14), families will be introduced to concepts of sound and gesture, as well as fundamentals of group improvisation. Then, in session two (September 21), we will review concepts and then build a larger vocabulary of sounds and interactions. Participants will develop a collaborative work and perform it for a public audience.

Participants are welcome to bring their own musical instruments, but neither instruments nor any prior musical experience is required.
