“Crossing Disciplines”
The Seminar is followed by a Masterclass and Performance in the Music Studio
Pamela Z will discuss her working process, the blurring of lines across disciplines, and the wide range of ideas and techniques that go into forming and mounting the performance work. And she will address how how rapid changes in available technology have effected the art. She plans to show video and audio documentation of many works, and in the master-class do a certain amount of live performance and demonstration of her tools and process. She also will conduct some participatory activity involving voice and sound.
