Sound

Sounds of water falling, rain and water falls.
We started in the dark listening to sounds, water and thunder and rain drops. Using projection we then created a waterfall area to move through and around adding sound using the keyboard and instruments.

Boxes

Inside Outside

A circle of stacked boxes with space inside. On the outside: shadows, projections and colour. Inside: a changing environment made by projected ipad drawings. Sounds on the boxes, music and smells added an extra experience.

Boxes

Towers and walls of boxes catching light, images and shadows.

This is the first week of the 'Boxes' installation. We have been exploring what is possible using projections, moving the boxes to catch the colours and to create new spaces ad shapes.

Week 3 Interactive Net Installation

Contours and Sculptures

Changing the shape by stretching and pulling the net we created sculptures that held for a moment and faded before a new sculpture emerged. The sound and lights reflected the atmosphere of the work.

Week 2 Interactive Net Installation

Colour and Contour

Shaping, reshaping, changing the space using colour and sound; we projected abstract colour images using transparent coloured sheets which we could move and change and pre made slides.

Comments Today: 'It's like a computer graphic; 'It's the best installation so far'; 'Clouds, Sea, it could be anything'.

Net

Week 1 of our Interactive Net Installation

Completely filling the room, the net describes and changes the space. Lights and music paint the surfaces that will move and change as we interact with it.

Look, watch, move through, linger under, stretch and shape.

Feedback from today - what was it like?
'A Sound Wave';  'A Mountain'; 'A Spiders Web'; 'A Tent'.

Ritual 5

Sand and  Shadows

Pouring, spilling, sifting; we spread  and scattered sand in patterns and shapes. Making ever changing pictures. Then drawing around the shadows made by our bodies on white paper we used these drawn images to form a background, infilling spaces with coloured sand. All sessions in our Ritual series start with a ritual blue ringing. Scroll to the end to find Roger  and his ritual.

Lunar Landing

What would it be like to walk on the moon?  What would we find if we went there?

Today we launched from the Level Centre in a rocket and headed for the moon. Exiting the rocket through the air lock we headed for the nearest crater where we explored the surface, collected rock samples and experienced low gravity activity.

Changing Landscapes

Still exploring contours and landscapes, today we have been shaping using gravity and force.

From a large stretched net we created valleys,  mountains and underground caves and spaces.

Contour and Colour

Shaping new landscapes using sand and projection.

By pouring, shaping and moulding the sand we created new mountains and valleys, new landscapes and scenes. We used the photos from previous weeks work to project  onto the  landscapes. We also made slides and projected these too.

Cave Painting
Today we have been creating our own cave paintings ready to decorate the cave next week.  First we explored movements and actions that could inspire us in our work. We moulded and moved our bodies and shaped ours too. Then, with clay on sticks we drew onto our cave floor, making one big picture.

Sound, Colour  and Sculpture. Re-Act

Today was all about using the skills we have been working on over the past few weeks.  We made textural sounds to inspire movement and sculpture building; coloured by projected drawings and also visa versa! After spending sometime exploring what possible, we finished by all working together to create a space full of interesting sounds and music, movement with fixed and moving sculptures.

Colour Me Re-Act

Last Wednesday we created a space  of layered nets, paper and white light. Though the session our space changed as we made cascades of sculpted paper and added colour through digital drawings.

Sounds Re-Act

Our space was filled with cubicles of different  sounds. Metal, wood, drumskins,  keyboard  and microphone. We explored the different sounds that the instruments made and then played together to build a soundscape. Our grand finale  included solos and duets.

Lights, Shadows and Creepy creatures

Participants in Sensory Arts experimented with creating shadows with their bodies using stage lighting and torches.

White Light Re-Act

Today we experimented with shape, shadow and ultra violet light.  Threading, weaving and building sculptures to move through and in, we created an amazing event. We made rhythmical and lyrical sounds to add to our textural journey.

Light and Shadow

Today we explored shape and space between. Seeing through a hole, seeing around an edge, lighting through a gap, lighting a sculpture. We created amazing light shows and amazing spaces all accompanied by our live sounds and music.
