A MOVEMENT SESSION with Kate Hilliard
WTBII is a continuation of WTBI. This physical workshop includes three areas of training which are discussed using the language of “attunement”, “stability”, and “creative flow”. The experience includes a mindful observation of the five senses, breathing exercises, core centering, and a movement meditation. The class additionally considers compositional elements from Overlie, Bogart, and Landau’s Viewpoints through a practice of embodied writing and image-making. This preparatory somatic practice aims to encourage makers to create with a greater awareness of their bodies and trains the artist to be an empathic witness and collaborative communicator.

Critical Immaterial Art
a workshop with Zeerak Ahmed
Our recent expansive migration to virtual territories calls for new ways of listening, composing and performing the sounding body. In this two-day intensive workshop we will examine shifts in soundscapes as a way to understand our past, present and now future body online. Through selected readings, artworks and exercises, we will explore the critical yet elusive nature of the medium of sound, particularly the voice. Personal assignments will be developed through a process of written, oral and visual actions in and out of class. As our sounding body communicates and grows in many ways through conversations, chants, songs, but also through silence as well as delayed, disconnected, noise - our sound observations will include a study of related materials, i.e the physical and digital spaces that we inhabit. However, discussions around and from within current digital platforms will help us reimagine the rectangular, flattened room as a creative process for emerging art.
Areas of interest: body, voice, sound, identity, memory, migration, systemic violence, archiving, ¦eld recordings, soundscapes, electronic music, experimental music, silence, noise, deep listening, timebased media & digital art.
Artworks, artists and writers that we will be looking at include: The Voyager Golden Record, Luigi Russolo, John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, La Monte Young, Bill Fontana, Nancy Holt & Richard Serra, Meredith Monk and Tyshawn Sorey to name a few.
