Extended Play Workshop – Katie Wilson, 11am-12.30pm

Visual and performance artist Kate Wilson invites participants to explore connections between art forms in this playful workshop at the Dock. Sound and spoken word lead to drawing, movement, written word and installation art. This workshop is an exploration of the spaces between art forms and the rhythms and pulses that echo from one media to the next. Musicians, performance and visual artists at all levels of experience are welcomed to this open and safe space for collaborative explorations and for a unique opportunity to deepen and extend understanding through investigations across media and beyond comfort zones.

All are welcome, just bring your curiosity and an enthusiasm for play!
