An exploration of three-dimensional form, light, sound and movement. Insects, Birds, Men, Planets, Spaceships and Stars fly around Babel - a kinetic sculpture of airborne objects expanding during the course of the exhibition.
These workshops combine craft skills, design skills, technical skills and
team skills that should provide all involved with an artistic challenge in
joyous celebration of collaborative creativity.
Students from a range of theatre disciplines such as Design. Lighting, Sound and
Technical Arts are invited to participate.
Workshops
There are 2 workshops - each lasting 3 days.
Up to 30 participants in each workshop (divided into small groups).
The first workshop will start before the opening of the exhibition as the first
group of sculptures will “ascend to the heavens” on the opening night. (See
below)
Participants will work in small teams, constructing sculptures from low cost
materials, wire, cane, bamboo and paper. These will then be illuminated either
internally or externally or both.
The structures will be built alongside the themes of Scenofest, linking to Birds
and Babel. The sculptures can relate to all forms of flight be it mechanical,
insect, bird or man or a mixture of all.
These will be flown into the Babel exhibition space and hopefully be animated
using rudimentary flying systems and sound designers will create soundscapes to
culminate in an evening presentation.
