The SUBSTATION
Hi-Viz 2019
Monday 2 – Tuesday 3 September 2019
We are thrilled to present our second, expanded Hi-Viz, over two days in September at The SUBSTATION.
This is an initiative for women and non-binary artists working across performance, sound and music. The event is intended to deepen dialogue, build networks, and nurture new understandings between performance makers, theatre directors, composers, and sound artists.
Taking on feedback from Hi-Viz Practice Exchange 2018, we are presenting a day of presentations, practice interrogation, networking and art dates, followed by an extension day of workshops.

Get an introduction to what synths are, a few ways you can use them including how to connect up the modules in a synthesiser to create a simple sound. Learn the basic concepts and principals of subtractive synthesis which lies at the heart of most synthesisers. Non-musicians welcome.
Emah Fox and Lauren Squire
2. Gnarly dissolve
Do you have an idea for a sound embedded project that is developed but has a sticking point you just can’t get past? Would you like to discuss/workshop/pull apart some aspect of it with other practitioners? All participants share the idea online prior to the workshop, and come with 3 questions/thoughts/approaches that might unstick the idea and reform her. Commitment: Sign up for Slack (details provided at point of booking). Present an online idea proposal, reading of other people’s ideas, 3 questions that you have.
3. Translating improvisational languages
A participatory workshop exploring the improvisational scores used by Invenio Singers and Rawcus to devise their cross-disciplinary work Song for a Weary Throat. Participants will use their bodies and voices to generate content and explore where the two practices meet. All levels of experience welcome.

String Thinking – using string to materialise temporal and structural thinking
