Join us for a two-day immersive experience with the 2026 Hart House Farm Artist-in-Residence Olivia Shortt!
Free and open to all U of T students. Transportation, food, and accommodation at the Hart House Farm will be provided. No prior art experience is required.
Participants will create graphic scores using collage materials such as magazines, text, and recycled paper while exploring soundpainting—an improvisational performance language that uses hand gestures to direct vocal and musical soundscapes.
Learning Outcomes
By participating in the workshop, you will:
Explore relationships between landscape, sound, and visual representation;
Develop an understanding of graphic scores as alternative forms of musical notation;
Learn introductory soundpainting techniques for collaborative improvisation;
Strengthen creative collaboration and listening skills; and
Experience site-responsive artistic practice through hands-on creation and performance.
