Voice looping, knitting, and filmmaking are just some of the activities that will transform the Surrey Art Gallery into a large open studio for this edition of inFlux. On Friday join local makers, artists, and musicians for an evening packed with DIY activities and live performances. Attendees can be inspired by different types of art, dive straight into the creative process, or just hang out and connect with Surrey’s growing creative community.
This event features a diverse lineup of activities spread throughout the Surrey Arts Centre so people can come and go as they like:
Performance artist prOphecy sun will do a vocally textured, semi-improvised dance that interacts with the audience. People can also learn how to loop their voices with her to make experimental soundtracks.
Electronic dance music DJ King Darwin will also be performing and leading a workshop on manipulating algorithms to create dance club beats.
Makercube, SFU Arduino Club, and students from SFU’s School of Interactive Arts and Technology will be set up in the Studio Theatre doing demos of their innovative devices.
For those wanting to hone their creative writing skills, the City of Surrey’s newly minted Poet Laureate Renée Sarojini Saklikar will partner with up-and-coming musician Ava Carich to collaborate with visitors on poetry and songwriting.
Elizabeth Carefoot and Makercube’s Karen Cancino will offer a chance to get hands-on with knitting, felting, and making toothbrush robots.
This night also includes making stop-motion animation videos with Reel to Real Film Festival.
Admission and snacks are free. Beverages will be available for purchase.
