Creative Sound Workshop with Soundhoppers (Kids Modus Arts Workshop)*
12.30pm – 2pm The Cove Studio, 50-58 Markfield Rd, London N15 4QF soundhoppers.com
Come along to our sound exploration workshop, which allows children to explore their sonic curiosity!
Aimed at children between the ages of 5 and 11, and developed by sound artists, the workshop removes exploratory barriers and allows children to engage with sound freely and playfully. Attendees are encouraged to adopt a sense of careful listening and sonic curiosity through numerous listening activities exploring various aspects of sound (e.g., proximity, timbre, and volume). They are also given access to bespoke soundboxes, transducers and other sound-generating devices and materials, allowing them to explore how sound travels through materials and objects.
*This is a limited capacity event. Ticket holders will be prioritised.
