2007 Seattle Poetry Festival Workshop: Sound Poetry
Instructors Christine Hume and Nico Vassilakis introduce students to multiple ways of approaching the relationship between sound and poetry. We will listen to poetry as soundscapes, training our attention to acoustic and phonetic aspects of language and speech. We will indulge ourselves in the kinesthetic pleasures, the ecstatic spiraling repetition and rhyme, the alchemy of articulations and de-articulations in performed and concrete poetry. This workshop will consider how we might renovate the traditional poetry reading--and conventional notions of poetry itself--by making use of a broad range of media. The instructors will present a variety of listening experiences, followed by a sound poetry experiment.
Max Number of Participants: 15
