[microsound] electronic performance

[Damian Stewart <damian@xxxxxxxxxx>]

question:

if you were running a workshop on performance techniques using electronics
(focussing on sound but including some other media, perhaps peripherally),
what would you do?

ideas so far:

1- explore narrative through graphic scores - everyone is given a simple
graphic score and is given a couple of hours to work something out then a
five minute solo performance to the rest of the group of their
interpretation of it. aim being, to develop skills to stop your audience
getting bored and drifting into that oh-yeah-i-need-to-email-that-person
head space. followed by group critique.

2- explore interaction between performers - group divides into pairs or
trios, each pair/trio does a five minute improv performance to the rest of
the group with the aim being to focus on rapid-fire 'conversations' or
improvised games a la a free-jazz sax vs percussion duel. followed by group
critique.

others..?
