Techno Ados
During the Techno Ados workshop, participants from Le Vitrail school will create works on the spot using audio, video et multimedia resources. Blindfolded and accompanied by specialized trainers, they will discover their sound environment as well as sound-recording tools. Afterwards, they will learn “to write with a sound recorder” by getting acquainted with the basics of film and video languages. Then, with the visual and sound elements they gathered and in a creative space with broadcast equipment at their disposal, the students will be introduced to multimedia performance.
A project conducted at OBORO with film and drama students from the alternative secondary school Le Vitrail, in collaboration with the TELUS Montreal Community Board.
