An attempt to create a new approach to literature by transposing it into the field of performance arts, it is the backbone of the Angel Meat transmedia project conceived by Ines Birkhan and Bertram Dhellemmes. Dancing on Ashes performances are based on fictional characters and situations that you will find in several other mediums ? novel, posters, videos, blogs? ? gathered in Angel Meat. Each performance is both a new chapter in a big narrative and an experiment in the staged literature medium. Dancing on Ashes (Amsterdam) is a performance-installation staging self-playing music instruments. It tells the story of Yu, a dancer who decides to join the Dancing on Ashes cabaret show. Dancing on Ashes (Circle) is a music + text performance with Bertram Dhellemmes playing electronics, that will premiere in NK. You will learn about the Triangle Circle, a group of friends to which belong Skullface, one of the main protagonists of Angel Meat. More information on www.angelmeat.com NK Elsenstr. 52/2.

This hands-on workshop introduces and explores key concepts of interaction design for electronic musical interactions (EMIs) and live musical performance. Participants will be introduced to interaction design concepts and practices as we explore them through hands-on physical sketching with simple electronic instrument circuitry, circuit bending and hardware hacking. The workshop will culminate in a specific design challenge for the participants, challenging them to create a new performance- ready circuit bent musical instrument within detailed constraints.

Our aim is to expose, educate, challenge and teach neon as a method of expression and cultural production. We also hope to encourage participants to stretch their methods of thinking when using glass and light. We offer access to a fully functioning neon facility where our award winning makers and artists unravel the mysteries of creating neon light. During our workshops, through one-to-one tuition and group demonstrations, participants will learn the skills of transcribing designs into neon drawings and manipulating glass with flame before filling with gas. The goal is for each participant to leave with a finished work of light that they have designed and made or helped make through directing. NK Elsenstr. 52/2.

Message-ID: <1309386169.33683.YahooMailRC@web34406.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Hello I have been asked to do a two-day workshop around musique concrete or basically using natural sounds to create a composition. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how to make the best of it. I was thinking of doing a short historical introduction and letting them hear some recordings. then a mindstorm about which sounds they (the participants) would go hunt for. Then in the afternoon we would go on a soundwalk with mobile recorders to record sounds. Back at theatelier we listen to the sounds and start to cut. Finally we make a collage and do some editing on it (basic editing, I prefer to use the sounds as natural as possible). And in the end of the second day, the participants show their works. What would I need to do to improve the plan? Another question that bugs me is that i will have to provide the mobile recorders. Normally I use the ones from the university I work at but I cannot take them from there. Therefore i was thinking to get hold of the ZOOM H1 or Q3. Any advice against it or should that be ok?
