Repertoire: Miroirs Suite - Maurice Ravel, arr. John Rotar for Piano and Percussion Ochre for massed flowerpots, bells and sensor driven LED lights - […]
SoundExplorationFremantle coordinates workshops led by respected practitioners of improvised musics. Participants listen, explore, and create, using an eclectic range of sound-making objects, musical and other instruments, and our voices.

Naoko Uemoto will present a workshop exploring movement as an extension of expressive rhythm; she'll guide us through ways of bringing or creating the energy rather than waiting to react to it - and, we'll delve into feeling the beat as a social phenomenon, and ways to incorporate this into an improvised setting. Sullivan Hall, […]
