What sounds do the trees make in the city? How can we put words and colors to this silent living being that lives in our environment? How can we represent the sound worlds of the trees around us ?
Trees Radio proposes crossing the soundscape of our urban trees to put words and images on our daily sound universes. The workshop takes place in two stages, an outdoor period with a microphone, during which we will record the sounds of the trees, describe what we see, play in the sound space, and glean dead leaves and stray branches.
A second time indoors, where we will listen to the sounds collected to transform them, through our collective imagination into sensitive cartography, thanks to collage, drawing and writing.
This collective creation will enrich the evolving sound and visual notebook, RADIO ARBRES, of the Plonger project. Plonger is a project on and in trees that crosses territories by bike to offer a performance that combines aerial dance and sound creation.
- For children aged 6 to 12 (FR)
- Max. 10 participants
- Coats, scarves and hats are recommended to enjoy listening outdoors !
