Qu Junktions and Arnolfini present artist Kelly Jayne Jones, who will be leading a workshop for young people (16-25), sharing the methods, approaches and inspirations present within her sound making practice.

Taking inspiration from John Zorn’s Game Pieces the workshops will take an experimental and collaborative approach to composition with participants drawing upon a range of objects, methods, activities and processes along with mindfulness techniques to consider what it is to create sound together.

Exploring the spaces within and between improvisation and composition as a means of collective creative expression, workshop participants will engage in processes of communal creativity inspiring interpersonal transformation as a political act.

Kelly Jayne Jones makes use of varying combinations of prepared recordings, text, rocks, found sounds and flute. Her work beckons a tussle with uncertainty, inviting exposure and vulnerability in performance, chasing experiences that open our chasms within, without restraint. Searching for humble principles of growth, physis, sound, connecting with others in the same space/moment, customary experimental play, with threads and beads of improvisation and interactivity.

This workshop is for people aged between 16 and 25. Tickets are free however booking is essential, please click HERE to reserve your space.  

This workshop has been organised in collaboration with Qu Junktions as part of the Outlands tour.
