To ensure a good balance of voices, we will no longer be accepting Alto, Mezzo or Soprano registrations for these ateliers. Registrations made up to and including December 20 will be validated.
We’ll start with a montage of over 120 film clips with the sound stripped out. Your task? Add your voices to these virtuoso scenes from some of cinema’s biggest names. Reinterpret classic moments like the barber scene in Chaplin’s The Great Dictator or the gritty trenches of Terrence Malik’s The Thin Red Line. The clips range from Jerry Lewis’s slapstick humour to the roller rink dance in Michael Cimino’s Heaven’s Gate or the striking 75 close-ups of Donald Sutherland’s gaunt face in Fellini’s Casanova. Together, we’ll put our own twist on these iconic scenes with creative a cappella collages. This diverse repertoire crosses languages and harmonies, featuring composers from Arvo Pärt to Thomas Jennefelt. Plus, you’ll lend your spoken voice to dub a short but comical scene. Get ready for an atelier that’s a surprising and poetic journey through modern film history, full of laughter and emotion.
