For the first trimester of 2008, Constant is invited to participate to the
programme and to contribute to the content of the APT postgraduate (part
of the Posthogeschool voor Podiumkunsten which is based at Singel in
Antwerp).

In the light of this programme, we are delighted to invite you to the
following workshopsessions.

WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

Goals and targets:

 exploring the relationship between software and performance notation

 creating notation from everyday objects, gestures and movements

 exploring the physical space as a notational canvas

 questioning collective authorship, versioning

Approach:

The workshop will be based around a piece of software that tracks
movements via video camera. This translates movement into a form of
notation that can be used to construct audio scores, or, which can
feedback into the performance and notation system itself (i.e. creating
commands for other performers). The workshop will be based in a space with simple objects and furniture that the participants can use as their
notational ’canvas’. They will be able to construct a notation system from
their own movements and their interactions with the objects in the space.

From this they will create a series of ’object scores’. Participants will
work collectively in creating and altering these ’object scores’ following
a FLOSS paradigm of writing and re-writing each other’s contributions.
This will create a tight feedback loop between writing and performing -
the motions of performance become recorded as notations in the scores.
These scores then generate the possibilities for further performances
which re-write the previous notations.


SCHEDULE WORKSHOP:

Day 1 | 11.02 – getting familiar with software, beginning to translate
notations into furniture and software

Day 2 > 4 | 12 > 14.02 – developing ’object score’ performances with
the software and space

Day 5 | 15.02 - final performance and evaluation session


NOTE:

Preliminary sessions:

APT, deSingel Antwerp (7th Floor)

 Thursday 07.02 – introductory presentations on performance notations
looking at the work of the Scratch Orchestra, Anthony Braxton etc.

Live broadcast of the presentation at www.constantvzw.com/vj11/live

 Friday 08.02 – practical notation exercise base don a film screening

Workshop hosts

Simon Yuill is an artist and programmer based in Glasgow, Scotland. He is
a developer in the spring_alpha and Social Versioning System (SVS)
projects. He has helped setup and run a number of hacklab and free media labs in Scotland including the Chateau Institute of Technology (ChIT) and Electron Club, as well as the Glasgow branch of OpenLab.

Kirsty Stansfield is an artist currently undertaking a practice-based PhD
entitled, "Sound As Interface - A Performative Genotype" at the University
of Dundee. Her interactive sound installations and sculptures provide
situations and props in which sound mediates peoples’ relationships to
each other and to their physical environment.

notation that can be used to construct audio scores, or, which can
feedback into the performance and notation system itself (i.e. creating
commands for other performers). The workshop will be based in a space with simple objects and furniture that the participants can use as their
notational ’canvas’. They will be able to construct a notation system from
their own movements and their interactions with the objects in the space.

From this they will create a series of ’object scores’. Participants will
work collectively in creating and altering these ’object scores’ following
a FLOSS paradigm of writing and re-writing each other’s contributions.
This will create a tight feedback loop between writing and performing -
the motions of performance become recorded as notations in the scores.
These scores then generate the possibilities for further performances
which re-write the previous notations.
