In this workshop, explore the metaphorical landscape of
language by experimenting with poetry through the use of photography,
found objects and jazz; learn about texture and polyphony by interpreting,
arranging, and performing poems in groups, and craft pieces through
new experiences, site visits, improv games, and discoveries.

media studio
Work in an open studio environment to compose, produce
and record original music/audio recordings guided by your own developing
goals and purposes. In addition to learning the basics of digital
audio production, some of the science behind music making and recording
is introduced. While they will have support from professional audio
engineers and musicians, apprentices control the planning and recording
process for producing materials. Includes deejay clinic on studio
mixing/arranging, sampling, and beat juggling.
