SUMMARY:Embodied Listening and Binaural Recording Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join contemporary artist Melissa Ryke for a one day workshop in Embodied Listening and Binaural Recording.\nSoundwalks form part of Melissa Ryke’s artistic research on embodied listening. Embodied listening can be framed through the discourse of phenomenology and places the body at the centre of lived experience. It highlights how the body is the medium that allows us to enter in relation with the world. Embodied listening is listening and recording as a sensorial haptic experience; using all the senses. During this walk you will be blindfolded and guided through a particular soundscape for deep meditative listening practice that will help open your ears. This will be accompanied by a drawing session that maps out your experience and a group discussion.\nBinaural recording (where our ears are/where our ears aren’t)\nThis part of the workshop is an extension of the soundwalking experience and explores binaural recording practices – a type of recording that replicates how we hear sound. Binaural = with two ears. By following our ears and choreographing different paths we explore a field recording practice through movement\, proximity & distance. A field recording practice can help us reflect on how we each listen differently\, the limits of our ears and technical gear\, active listening\, and uncompromised listening (where we expose our ears to every sound) and reactivate our sense of hearing.\nThis workshop requires no prior knowledge or skills in recording. It would suit those interested in sound\, embodied listening\, binaural recording\, field recording\, meditation and art practice. All ages and abilities welcome.\nAbout the artist:\nMelissa Ryke is an Australian artist currently based between Brussels and Australia. In July 2022 she undertook a residency at AADK. In Lille\, France from 2018-2022 she undertook a state supported studio residency at Le Carré des Artistes. The outcome of the residency were several community projects and events involving the local residents. Ryke studied Fine Arts in both Australia and France and has recently completed the European Postgraduate in Art in Sound at KASK\, Ghent in June 2020.\nRyke’s practice-led research focuses on a critical and playful investigation of the quotidian and experimentation with installation and time based media. Through these mediums the key notion of a bodily experience in space is explored from a phenomenological framework. Recent projects have been focused on embodied listening; listening and recording as a sensorial experience.\n10am – 12.30pm – Soundwalk\n12.30 – 1.30pm – Lunch Break. BYO\n1.30pm – 5pm – Binaural Recording\nWhat to bring:\nComfortable clothes and shoes for walking (slow paced)\nMosquito repellant for general outside use\nSunscreen/Hat\nHeadphones or earbuds\nIf you own a sound recorder\, binaural microphones – bring along.\nIf you have questions about the workshop please contact connect@northsite.org.au \n  \nJoin the workshop \n

SUMMARY:Art Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join arts writer Tess Maunder as she guides you through an introduction to arts writing structures\, focusing on artist bios and reviews. \n“Writing about visual art and wider culture is essential to thinking critically\, communicating with the public and integral to understanding\, evaluating and visually analyzing artworks. \nIt’s a great skill to develop and continue to hone throughout your practice. \nWriting doesn’t have to be complicated\, and actually writing without too much inflated language makes the most accessible text for readers.” \nJoin Tess Maunder as she discusses a range of different writing structures that you\, as an artist or a person interested in or currently working in the arts\, may need to know. \nThese include:\n1. Develop an exhibition review\n2. Develop an artist statement and/or professional bio \nThe workshop will be structured in three sessions. The first session will be largely listening to an overview of each type of text\, and best-practice surrounding text with a Q&A session. In the second session\, we will break into groups with a focus on either of the above choices and will together develop some writing. In the third session\, we will present our findings and something we learnt from the day. \nWorkshop timeline:\n9:45 AM — Arrive at NorthSite at Bulmba-ja\, 96 Abbott Street\, Cairns City 4870\n10:00 AM — First and second session\n12:30 PM — Light food\, tea and coffee provided\n1:00 PM — Third session\n2:00 PM — Concludes workshop \nThis workshop is usually valued at $160 per person but we are able to offer a discounted price of $45 per person.

SUMMARY:Your Story: Sequencing and narrative with personal photography
DESCRIPTION:Participants will work with a selection of 50+ existing personal images\, arranging their photographs in a folio of fresh image sequences. \n  \nWho\, What\, Why: \nPhotographers Sean Davey and Aishah Kenton of the Pacific Centre for Photographic Arts will guide you through a range of considerations and approaches to arrive at an intimate folio of personal photographs. \nEach participant will create a new series of photographs presented in a cohesive folio\, that communicates narrative and feeling solely through image. This activity demonstrates the power of storytelling through incidental photography of everyday life and shows that each of us has a unique position\, aesthetic\, and perspective to share. \n“This program gives people an awareness that each of us is likely to have a body of photographic work in our phones or in an old photo album on the shelf\, incidental work\, work that explores where they are\, their life. Through considered selection\, aesthetic and subjective considerations\, inclusion and reduction\, everyday photographs can be combined and bought into a new realm of communication.” Sean Davey \n  \nItems supplied: \nFolios\, paper\, pencils\, 5 hrs tuition\, tea\, coffee and lunch. \n  \nWhat to bring: \nPhysical photos – participants are required to bring 50 – 100 diverse photographs. \nSuggested content: old family photo albums\, film packets of travel shots\, found photo collections or digital images from your phone camera roll to be pre-printed as 6 x 4 images.
