In the context of the digital and audio conferences and workshops Emergences cycle initiated by Transcultures in partnership with the School of Visual Arts of Mons Arts², Charo Calvo will make a presentation in the morning followed by a workshop (14:00) about her work electroacoustic composition and sound design.

After studying physics and participating in the creation in 1987, of the now famous dance company Ultima Vez led by Wim Vandekeybus, Charo Calvo followed electro-acoustic composition studies at the Conservatory of Mons where she teaches composition applied to the media. She realized many sound creations for many dance companies including Jan Fabre, the Ballets C de la B or Ultima Vez.

From 13 to 17 January Gauthier Keyaerts offers an introductory workshop on the importance of sound in the interdisciplinary dialogue, introducing the concepts of sound narration, osmosis, counterpoint, spatialization to make the students feel and create the sound, make sound recordings, edit sound and image. It will be based on his performance / interactive AV Installation “Fragments#43-44” as well as interviews he made with composers and musicians, iconic videos and sometimes manipulated film clips.

These activities on sound & performance are complemented by an introductory workshop to the modeling, animation and rendering 3D free software Bendler from 19 to 22 January and 19 January and a conference by Yves Bernard (Director of iMAL-Brussels) on Art + Game (Bury room, 11:00).
