Children of Savia

Sunday 24 July 2016, 12–3pm V22 Louise House

Armed with microphones and cameras, the artist and workshop participants will explore the locale, hunt for sounds in the Community Garden, the Old Laundry and the surroundings of Louise House. Children will be able to learn about sound recording and their sonic environment while gathering and editing material for a final presentation.

Alexander Wendt is interested in new forms of presentation, for performing arts and education. He performs and exhibits internationally, and organises sound recording and listening workshops in sometimes remote locations. Wendt researches aural visual culture of the post-millenial society, and socio-cultural and conceptual development of field education. He recently set up Savia (Sound, Arts & Video Activities) in West Sussex. Wendt studied Multimedia Engineering and Special Effects Design at London's South Bank University, and was awarded an MA in New Media Production by John Moores University, Liverpool in 2004. Before becoming lecturer at London Metropolitan University, he studied and taught at the International Center for Digital Content, Liverpool. Wendt gained a Masters degree in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education in 2008, and was awarded Fellow of Academy for Higher Education by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) in 2009.
