About Kobi’s workshop multi-disciplinary making, world building and poetics

How do we world build, create, dream and communicate feeling with sound, music, poetry, theatre and live art as a vehicle? How do we lean in to different art forms that we are pulled to tell rich stories?

Bring your notepad, bring your thoughts, bring a music interface, like audacity, logic or garageband etc. (not essential only if you have one) And most importantly bring yourself and let’s start world building.

Read your work at the sharing spots

There are five sharing spots available at the Salon and if you’d like to share your work please complete the following form by 11am, Friday 29 November:

You’ll be asked to provide your contact details and a short bio and the reading you will be doing which should be no longer than 5 minutes. This is so we can send the work to our BSL interpreters in advance of the session. You can submit these in written English, video or audio file format.
