WORKSHOPS

on the 24th September, 2015

CULTURE AND SOCIETY

IN THE REGIONAL IDENTITY DISCOURSE

Iveta Gabrāne, Marina Pavlāne

Preserve, so it wouldn’t be lost

The workshop will provide the participants with methods and materials on learning about cultural and historical heritage, which can be used in lessons of their own. The target audience – teachers of specific interest education and others. Number of participants – 10.

MUSIC

Ioannis Makris

Digital Audio Production Software and Educators

This workshop will provide an overview of the fundamental principles of sound and the factors that determine our audio perception. It will explore the basic techniques of recording, mixing, processing, and editing of digital audio using freely distributed audio production software for PC. There are no specific musical or technical pre-requisites for this workshop. This workshop will provide the tools that are necessary for educators in their jobs. Educators will learn an array of sound design and editing techniques for use in web-based media, art installations, soundscape creations, or live and internet music performances. Number of participants – 10.

Andris Vecumnieks

The World`s greatest composers?

The purpose of the interactive lecture/lesson “The World`s greatest composers?” is to substantiate the argumentation process used for characterisation of personalities. In a conversation with listeners we clarify and justify the “distinguished” status of specific composers and their difference from the “authors” of the lecture, as I analyse their opinions and arguments. The content of the lecture changes radically, depending on the previous professional background and experience of the audience members. During the lecture audio and video materials are demonstrated – seven portraits of the world`s greatest composers (The Great Composers series) as selected by the CNN channel in 1996. Number of participants – 15.

Sandija Kušnere

Music lesson models for communication skill improvement

for children up to 3 years old

The workshop will offer music lesson models for pre-school music teachers or teachers working with children less than 3-years-old. Music lesson models are designed develop communication skills. In addition, lesson models include musical movements, singing, listening to music and playing rhythm instruments. With the help of music teachers, these lesson models will be implemented in the workshop. The workshop will provide an opportunity to feel your body movements and the range of information from listening to music. It would be a great opportunity for teachers themselves to express their ideas, to discuss the effectiveness, the pros and cons of their approach, while at the same time gaining more experience. Number of participants – 15.

ARTS

Anna Krastiņa

Defile masterclass

Defile is the perfection of gait and posture on the stage. During this lesson the posture will be formed and the gait will be corrected on the grounds of visual attractiveness and health. Bones are constantly remodulating during a person’s life. For that reason posture can spoil, if there is nothing performed with the body and vice versa, if certain information is permanently given to the muscles. In addition to this, technique of forming defile step, fixing and technique of the gait called braid will be taught during the lesson. Orientation in the space of the stage, ethics on the stage, behaviour, respectful attitude towards clothes and proper behaviour while wearing costumes. Number of participants – 15.

Gundega Strautmane

Text and sound coding

Artist Gundega Strautmane has been working with text recoding into textile lace for more than 10 years. Workshop participants will be motivated to improve their text and sound code, as well as to think of techniques that could be used for their works that will be exhibited later. Number of participants – 7.

FASHION SHOW OF THE CLOTHES

Fashion show “Autumn Metamorphoses”

Ancient Greek poet Ovid in his poem "The Metamorphosis" mentions forces that drive evolution - love and mind. The world exists in its diversity and uncertainty, it is a constant transformation.

Transformation can be observed in nature when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, when flower fields bloom, when autumn touches nature.... and in costume collections by color contrasts, pastiche, texture rhythms and material diversity.
