CONDUCTOR
A GAME OF AGENCY & ART, POWER & PLAY
Brooklyn Art Exchange (BAX) 421 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Tuesday October 8th, 2024, 12-3pm
Conductor is a game played in a group of 5-20. The actions of choice are primarily sonic, musical, performative, conversational and relational. The conductor can conduct by giving commands verbally, or they can use gesture and sound to elicit changes in the group. Conducting usually lasts around 3-5 minutes, and then another conductor takes their place.
Our workshop will begin with brief check-ins, agreements and warmups, and then we’ll dive into playing the game. Our main intention will be to workshop the game, to craft it, to get better at it, to develop the mysterious artistry contained within it, and unlock this game’s unlimited potential.
Time: Tuesday October 8th, 2024, 12-3pm
Price: $20
Location: Brooklyn Art Exchange (BAX) 421 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
