101 Outdoor Arts and The Centre for Performance, Technology and Equity (PTEQ) at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama present two linked events as part of the new Sound and the Outdoors programme: Site and Sound Symposium and Base Frequencies Lab.
In the Site and Sound Symposium, we will bring together artists, designers, technologists, and researchers to investigate how sound art and performance can meet the public in the natural and built environment. We will explore how the use of sound-led practice in the outdoors can create experiential opportunities for diverse audiences to access arts, culture, and collective memory. Key questions include the technical, critical, contextual, and ecological considerations of these practices, as well as the tools, technologies, and approaches best suited for this purpose.
Outdoor contexts offer unique opportunities to create rich and dynamic sound worlds that can combine natural sound, sonic interventions, and scenographic elements to realise immersive performance journeys.
