3rd Workshop with BI & Thingamajigs!

  • May 8, 2018

Yesterday we had the last of our 3 workshops with Thingamajigs and Becoming Independent. The third session was geared towards finalizing the musical score. The BI artists brought along their artwork that was inspired by our 2nd workshop. We discussed colors, shapes, sizes and their relation with the sound before we put everything together.

The assemblage of these pieces and their enthusiasm putting together the scores, makes us really excited for the final performance. The performance "Nature of Notation" it's going to be a complete flow of creativity.


Special thanks to Dylan Bolles and Thingamajigs Performance Group (TPG) who continue to break new ground in performance fields.

 
 
 

2nd Workshop with BI & Thingamajigs!

  • May 1, 2018

The Artistic director of Thingamajigs, Dylan Bolles, is guiding our BI artists to create a series of graphical music scores that will be performed at our upcoming Open Studio on May 19, 2018, from 1-4pm!

This session was the 2nd of three workshops which was spent listening to nature's sounds and interpreting them for each other. We started our day with a visit from our current artist in residence Karen Hackenberg, who showed us a time-lapse video of her new Batman and Robin series, that motivated everyone to transcend borders and use technology to create anywhere, as she is currently doing with her preliminary sketches on her iPad.


Dylan's session was an experimental laboratory for trying out new ideas and seeing what works best. We used different materials, to put onto paper the inspiration that Mother Nature gave us. We listened to all kinds of sounds including, ducks, crickets, woodpeckers, breeze, etc...

Sharing and learning creates an atmosphere of peer-to-peer exchange that leads to impromptu collaborations and new work.

As always, we have so much fun during our workshops with Becoming Independent & Thingamajigs!

And of course, at the end of our workshop we all enjoyed the delicious chocolate chips cookies 🍪!
