Sounding Together: Dunsborough with Annette Krebs & Jim Denley
JANUARY 8-14, 2020
CURRENTLY OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS.
Sounding Together is a workshop which immerses its participants in creating together over five days in regional Australia, with the guidance of visiting experimental musicians/sound artists Annette Krebs (Berlin) & Jim Denley (Sydney). Placing an emphasis on play & improvisation, Sounding Together is a space where folks with idiosyncratic approaches to making art are nurtured & encouraged, whilst having plenty of time to reflect on and discuss concerns & challenges.
Sounding Together has no fixed schedule, and no clear outcomes are expected of the participants, who are simply encouraged to pursue curiosities together as they emerge. Annette, Jim and Tone List offer gentle facilitation, but the vision of the workshop is to see what grows organically out of the group in a focused environment. Artists of all backgrounds and disciplines are therefor encouraged to apply, and a sound-based practice is not a pre-requisite.
Following the project’s first manifestation in Koorda in 2018, Sounding Together 2020 is situated on Wadandi Noongar boodja in Dunsborough, saltwater country, around three hours drive from Perth. The project occurs in a house near the beach, on the border between the town and Meelup Regional Park. Tone List offers ground transportation to workshop participants both to travel from Perth to the residency space, and to get to interesting sites, including national parks, rock formations and caves.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Interested people are invited to send an application at their earliest convenience. Applications are due by November 12.
Participation cost: $300, which includes all food and accommodation costs, and ground transport costs if you carpool with Tone List.
How to apply: Send an expression of interest to info@tonelist.com.au. Please include a brief introduction of yourself and a link to your work that we can check out, but keep it simple and casual.
Please also include any questions about access, dietary requirements, accommodation, or anything else you need further information on.
OTHER INFO
Equipment for sound playback, amplification, multi-track recording, field recording and video recording will be available for use throughout the week.
Both private & shared rooms are available. You're welcome to let us know if you'd particularly prefer a private space. Camping is also an option, as the weather will be great for it.
There may be regional and inner-city performance opportunities available as part of the project. For interstate applicants, we may also be able to organise a side-show for you to present your own work, so please let us know if you’re interested in this too!
