FireBox will be spending next week at the UK Theatre School courtesy of the Dance House working on new material for an interactive dance performance. The exciting part is...that as well as being able to watch the FireBox dancers performing, you will also be able to get involved and get interacting with the piece. Don't worry you don't need to dance if you don't want to, you just have to be willing to hold a light and move around the room. Easy.Come along on Friday 20th June at 6pm for your chance to watch it, try it out or both!UK Theatre School - opposite the old Odeon cinema4 West Regent Street,GlasgowG2 1RW

Led by sound designer Norm Scott www.normscott.com and director/choreographer Martha Williams www.themovementmovement.orgFor curious artists, dancers/choreographers, video-ists; students of all of these who want to interface their medium with sound and wonder how to do that or where to begin; or for folks who simply want to learn more about sound making process.In this interactive workshop, participants will have an opportunity to actually be a part of the recording and compositional process. They will go "out into the streets" to record that will later be contributed to a short score. Prior to the field trip portion of the class, we will discuss the formulas and limits for sound collection and the meaning and relevance of intention and limits in the creative process. We will especially look at how we can infuse the theme, which is “productivity," every step of the way. Upon collection of sound, we will return to engage in the interactive compositional portion of the day concluding with a real live useable score that will (in some form) be a part of The Movement Movement's full length evening contemporary dance piece premiering at the Joyce SoHo in June 2008.Sun April 6th, 10 AM to 4 PM - $50 (12 person limit)Harvest Works596 Broadway, Suite 602 (btwn Houston and Prince)New York, NYTo register visit www.harvestworks.org – go to classes/audioFor more information on content contact Martha Williams info@themovementmovement.org
