15–17 October – Discover with your voice under the ground – Petr VÁŠA and Tomáš ŽIŽKA (CZ)

DISCOVER WITH YOUR VOICE UNDER GROUND

Voice workshop in the outdoor mine museum Důl Mayrau with Petr Váša and Tomáš Žižka

Friday October 15, Saturday October 16 and Sunday October 17 2010

After last year´s experience in the historical sewage plant, we will continue exploring the voice and space with Petr Váša and Tomáš Žižka. The workshop will take place in a non-traditional industrial space of the outdoor mine museum Důl Mayray in Kladno. The participants will have the chance to experience the varied and unusual space through their voices.

Site specific projects offer the participants a chance to encounter a unique and unknown space. Once we get to such a space we are forced to be attentive, to listen, observe and discover. The former mine Mayrau is a unique place with a very specific history and atmosphere. Find more information and photographies of the mine HERE.

Petr Váša, the founder of so called "physical poetry", is an experienced musician, voice experimenter and a lecturer. He has led courses at many prestigious schools, amongst them Janáček´s Academy of Performing Arts in Brno, and The Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague.

Scenographer Tomáš Žižka is the founder and the leading figure of the Mamapapa society which organizes site specific projects. He is the Head of the Department of Stage Design at The Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague.
