Guest Artist Workshop with claudia cox and tobi pfeil (only Slime)
ABOUT “ONLY SLIME”
Transgressive and interdisciplinary by nature, ONLY SLIME evades labels and genres in their search for new forms of expression and storytelling in the contemporary music, performance and arts scene. Combining their background in punk, classical music, computer games, free jazz, acrobatics, hyperpop, experimental theater, electronic music production and film, the duo seeks a playful limitlessness through vastly different mediums and artistic modes of expressions.
ONLY SLIME consists of Claudia Cox, also known under her hyperpop moniker Peri Winkle, who, in addition to her work as an artist and vocalist, opened Wiener Festwochen as a violinist and acrobat. The other member is Tobi Pfeil, who has worked on everything from immersive VR-experiences at the Venice Biennale, to creating award-winning sound installations in abandoned factory halls.
The duo is currently working on their debut album release, a VR installation, and further international collaborations with other ensembles and artist collectives around the world.
They are performing their motion capture computer game opera AFTERLIFE as part of Vårscenefest 2024, and this workshop will give some insight into their artistic process, their implementation of tech and digital media, and their visions and ideas for future stagings and productions.
WORKSHOP INFO
The workshop will include a presentation of ONLY SLIME's work involving tools like real-time motion capture, electronic music production and live electronics, staging, light programming and speculative storytelling. Further, the duo will discuss their artistic visions and the role and potential uses of the stage space for future stagings and productions.
We will take a deep-dive into Unreal Engine and look at the possibilities afforded by this tool in a stage context.
The workshop will conclude with an open brainstorm and Q & A session.
Workshop will be conducted at Tvibit on Monday, 29.april and starts at 1700. Admission is free and for all ages, but sign up required due to limited spaces. Workshop is conducted in collaboration with Kreativ Teknologi@Tvibit and Vårscenefest 2024.
