How to Play an Artwork
A Sound Workshop inside Microtonal
What happens when an artwork listens back?
Join artist-musicians Jack McNeill and James Hamilton, and artist and technical director of Invisible Flock Ben Eaton, for a playful, participatory workshop inside Invisible Flock's installation, Microtonal. Through a series of guided activities, you’ll explore sound, voice, movement and listening in a shared space, using un-tuned slate lithophones to explore a variety of playing techniques and supported improvisation to discover the artwork in a new way.
No musical experience needed – just curiosity and a willingness to have a go! Very limited places so booking essential.
Following the workshop, please join us for a screening of Indus Blues, a 2018 Pakistani documentary film from filmmaker Jawad Sharif at 5.30pm. The film is about the dying folk and classical musical instruments of Pakistan and the struggle of musicians and craftsmen to keep their art alive.
Book your free place in advance: Jawad Sharif: Indus Blues | Lancaster Arts
Then at 7pm, Invisible Flock will be on hand to introduce Microtonal at the official opening of the installation. All are welcome to attend.
